Just disconnect the fuel line and fire the engine up on the box to run it completely out of fuel. Once you have done this pull the air filter and put 7 or 8 drops of after run oil into the carb and kick it over for about 5 to 10 seconds on the box to distribute the oil and you should be good. If you want to get all gangsta you can take the engine apart after you run it out of fuel and coat all of the internals in after run oil and then re-assemble and stick it in a zip lock baggy which is what I do when I have spares that I keep laying around for a few months.
Thanks! |

Hey Pete, I hate to say this but that's a difficult one for me to answer. There are a multitude of things in your can that can cause "wierd noises" ;) If you have eliminated everything except the engine as the possible cause then you need to pull the engine apart and check the bearing. Once the engine is apart simply press your thumb against the inner race and rotate. If it feels notchy or rough then your bearing needs to be replaced. You can pop on to A-mains site to check pricing on one as you have to decide what is the right course to go down your self. Personally at 6 gallons you are probably going to need to replace the p/s set or get a pinch in the next 2-3 gallons anyways. If it was me what I probably would do if budget allows is pick up another engine and a bearing. I would use the old engine as my practice/club race engine and have the new one as a back up and big race motor. Hope this helps a bit!
Done. Thanks Ron.;) |
Not a problem guys! If you have any other questions let me know..

Need Help!
I am new to nitro and just purchased a b5 and 2013 pipe, I am wanting to run this in the kyosho neo st truggy that i purchased RTR, I want to use the stock engine for practice and the b5 for race, what whould be a good size clutch bell to use with my setup, the spur is 48 and the stock clutch bell is 15T, the flywheel is 34mm, is this the only size flywheel I can run?, I would like my b5 to just be drop and bolt on, so my rtr came with 3 shoe clutch and I do not know if I can only use Kyosho products or which items are interchangeable, so any advice on the clutches I can or should use etc, would be much appreciated, I had purchased a couple O'Donnell 97T plugs, but will get some Werks #5 as those seem to be what most prefer, I only want to race and I do no bashing, thanks for any help, final question is should I consider getting a different truggy to race, i purchased the neo st as I was not sure if I would like Nitro but I think I do as I have purchased a new b5 and pipe after having the truggy 1 month.

all of your stock Kyosho products will work on the B5 and make it ready to drop in. However, if you are going to purchase an entire new clutch setup so you have two two switch between, you can upgrade the clutch and save money at the same time by using one of the aftermarket clutches like Werks, M2c, ascendancy, etc. Just get a 15t bell from whatever manufacturer you choose.

Thanks Lidz!
I was thinking that I could change the size of clutch bell to get better performance, but it appears that the 15t would be what you are suggesting I stick with, I would like to upgrade the clutch with one of your recommendations, so I should stick with the three shoe setup and 34mm flywheel?

So here are three clutch sets from amain, which one guys? I still do not understand if I must use a 34mm flywheel or what the advantages are, so I will stick with the 34mm stock size for now.
Ascendancy-Racing-Effortless-Racing-Clutch-Kit-34mm Werks-34mm-Light-Pro-Clutch-4-Shoe-Racing-Clutch-System M2C-Racing-34mm-Quick-Change-4-Shoe-Clutch-System Thanks again for everyones help, and darnit I ordered a 13t and 14t clutchbell which UPS will deliver today before getting feedback, oh well. Cant post URL's yet as I am too new but each of these systems are from amainhobbies.com |
the werks clutch set-up is DIALED....I think 90% of the people at my local track run one now

There's a lot of people in the Werks threads raving about the Werks pro clutch kits. So much that it's got me very anxious to try one myself :D. Apparently they are redonkulous easy to assemble and disassemble. |

If your stock flywheel size is 34mm, stick with the 34mm size flywheel on the other kits. I know that Werks makes 32mm flywheels to accommodate kits that have a 32mm stock flywheel, like Hotbodies for instance.

Will try the Werks System
I will try the Werks system, but will use what I have for the breaking in of the engine. Thanks!

Ah, my mistake kgombe. Thanks for the correction. I had read somewhere else on the forum that HB was 32mm flywheel. Shows what happens when you believe someone else's info sometimes :rolleyes:. It doesn't help that neither the instructions or the parts listing actually tells what size the flywheel is. Guess you gotta do it the old fashioned way.....why hello there mister ruler. :lol:
