It sounds like that the main needle has fault. Try to keep on leaning the main needle till 1 turn out. If it work better,let me know. I will send new needle to you for replacement. That main needle is too thin if I'm not wrong. If you have other carburetor,try it first.

Buddy,
Please use '.' or '...' or whatever to separate each sentence. You know I'm Chinese and my english is poor. I need 5 mins to understand your question...

Can you send your carb to me? I want to check it and do some research. I will send a new upgraded carb to you later.

Good question, and after looking at some different shops I have some confusion...

I seen pages and pages of stuff on special, including Novarossi NSR12S3, Fast, Jaco nitro shoes and ELLEGI foams, Kyosho MP7.5 YUICHI KANAI Ed.3 kit, JR Racing FM XS3 40Mhz 3 Channel radio system and 150mm Digital Calipers They selling cause they not any good? ...

IMO it's time to get your next engine. I have had a D3R sitting in my shopping basket for a few days but I can't really justify buying one as I already have one thats only just been broken in. Just waiting for the D5 to wear out so I can start using the D3R full time....

Well,in my opinion it's because that the Chinese New Year is coming!(9,Feb.)
The Chinese use to auction before Chinese New Year in all industries.
Then we can have a good year and say Gong Xi Fa Cai to each other...

Nothing wrong with these engines. They are capable of running at par with the best Italian mills. We've just ben appointed South American distributors for STS, and we made extensive testing with these engines against Collari's, Nova's, Jp's etc. and our results were outstanding. They will give the run for their money on any of those, specially on technical short tracks...they have tons of low end...and properly geared will keep the pace on wide open tracks.
Probably Mushroom is doing a clearance sale (overstock)..it's just a company policy of some sort....hey!! take advantage and get one , you won't be dissapointed.
