Thanks for the input. I've heard good things about the 2013, may be my next investment (investment?). Is this the BEST choice for this engine in a buggy?

the 9901ss works very good also , afterall it is a novarossi :D

Im thinking 2096ss is another KILLER option :nod:

Hey, Houston

I have a Nova P3XS and was reading about the front bearing in the P5 being no good. The P3XS has the same front bearing, would you also recommend changing it to the #17011 front bearing.

Cheers

hate to say it but the re11 is not that good on novarossi engines ;)

many guys have been using the orion 2013 on the nitrotec with great success , the same pipes that are recommended for novarossi engines would be the same for the (novarossi 3 port) nitrotec

You hit the nail on the head! I threw on old JP1 and it really woke it up! Can't wait to try a 2013 or the Novas you listed. THANKS!

Its not so much that the bearing leaks as it sucks in dirt , not so good ;)


Trust me I wish the bearing was not used :(

Do you have to worry about that same front bearing issue in the FMS?

Hey guys, got a question.

I run an FMS in my 1/8 Late Model. Its just mental fast, sounds crazy, love it. (Brought it from a seller on here and have no complaints at all.)

One thing I notice is if it idles, it seems to load up, and when i get on the gas it will splutter and stall if I don't get on the gas pretty hard to clear it out. Doesn't take alot of time to load up either.
This past weekend, I ran maybe 7-8 warm up laps (after pre-heating the motor with a comp heater in the pits). Pulled over to be top'd up;
Pit guy was holding it up, and I was revving it to not load it up, and when the race started, I squeezed harder on the gas and it "popped" and flamed out. Any ideas why this happened and if could be avoided in the future ?
Thanks in advance.

Its probably too rich on the low speed needle causing it to foul the plug.Try leaning it until it only loads up a little.After getting the low speed where it needs to be you may have to richen the top a little.
