R/C Tech Forums - Houstons Engine Service H.E.S.

I got the 21-7fms that I only have 3/4 of a gallon of fuel through it.I went to the track for the first time to finish break-in and have noticed oily dirt collecting around the rubber boot on the carb and at the base of the carb.It's only a small amount and just need to know if it's anything to worry about.

if its from me it is probably just the lubrication that i use to assemble the engine . it will collect a little dust ;)

if it is consistent then it sounds like its ok .

when the engine drops its nuts then you can race tune it and see the serious power the engine design has :nod:

What's up with the .28? I assume (uh oh...) that you're talkin' about the Novarossi .28's?
