I also went back & found casey's idle screw spec but Dont know if I'm comfortable with that outside measurement whats the slide gap at,inside the carb? Thanks for the help.

idle gap should be at 1mm or a little less .
i have been flushing the lapping comp. myself , i really dont think it will hurt anything if you dont .

really? try torquing the head down a touch more , make sure it isn't just coming out of the plug area cuz of loose plug first .

Monty what r the stock settings for bf2000 limited, this thing is rich it won't stay running and spitting fuel all over. High was out from flush, I have leaned 2 turns in and it is so rich I can't keep it running. Any help would be great, I have cheap rtr's that didn't give me this many problems.

thanks man

Will do, BTW I ran it all night for club racing in my new Losi I picked up and it ran great. Tons of power and the hottest it got was 270. I turned the HSN about 15 minutes out and it ran at about 250 all night. Man that thing is a beast lol..
