Default carburator is stuck

Hi guys, I recently tried to take the carburetor out of my axial .32rr1 but it wont come out. I did take out the screw that holds it in. it did come out at one time because i had to flip it around to go on my revo. Any ideas on how to get it out. Thanks

Unless you sealed the carb when you flipped it around, there shouldn't be anything holding it except maybe dried fuel/oil mix. Try wetting the joint where the carb goes into the crankcase with some fuel, let it soak a few min and try rotating to get it moving rather than pulling straight up.

I already tried that.

No luck then, guess you have a stuck carb. Next step would be to use pliers wrapped in a rag.

Have you tried to take it apart. I wonder if the idle setting screw is to tight.

Stick the engine/carb in the freezer for a couple hours, then pop the carb out. That's the only way I can get the carb out of my Axial .32
