Ok...I am ready to give up on this engine...D5..sorry guys
I have shortened the pressure line and am confident all other parameters, ie plug,shim, etc are correct.Yet no matter what I do I can not get this to work.It simply will not idle.Now, with the shorter pressure line the idle jumps almost immediately, then if I try to lower the idle, it dies right away and wont start. Also, Ive noticed that it is sticking again.Im at a point now, where Ill either sell it off, or one last possible solution...Im thinking maybe another carb from another manufacturer. Anyone know if there's any different ones that will work?

Please tell me your carburetor setting. How many turns to each needle?

Also,which pipe are you using?

Ok...It did not appear that either oring is broken, at least looking by eye....dont have a microscope ...however I did find a tiny metal flashing particle on the face where the small oring sits.

If the rpm will not fall when you close the throttle,there are two different appearance.
1) the rpm fall slowly and step by step;
screw back(rich?) the idle needle a bit and also lean the low speed needle(a bit). If it dosen't work,your engine may have too big compression. Check the plug's status.
2)The rpm fall immediately but rise again;
Rich the low speed needle and also lean the idle needle(a bit).

Hey, dino, I just found and bought a brand new sts rs3 and when i opened the box, there weren't any stickers or an extra conrad! This is probably the older version, because it has a black case instead of a grey one. Can you tell me where i can find the stickers and improved conrad online? I looked at teamcrc.com but couldn't find either. PS just by opening the box, I loved how everything was packaged, it earned style points with me and gave me a good first impression. Thanks

Mail to me your address to [email protected]. I send the sticker to you.
You can buy the improved conrad from ProjectZen.net. If you use more than 15% lube fuel to break in your engine,the conrod will work fine.

Once again, Im back to a sticky carb...not even my servo (JR Z590) will shut the carb...Where can I either get a new carb or are there any from another Co. that will work? I have contacted P.Zen and CRC both by email several times, neither has responded...Im confident that there is either a defect with this carb, or maybe I messed something up, I am not sure...either way, I like the engine and wish to keep it...but gotta do something about this carb...Ive had enough!!!

Ok...I will try that....do you want the entire engine or just the carb?
