Today I ran about 6 more tanks thru my gen5 .21 5 port for a total of 8 or 9 tanks. The first 4 tanks went perfect. idled 1st and ran figure eights for the other three everthing was great temp wise (240). Today I went to track and ran three more tanks in fig 8s then started to putt it around the track. Temps were high around 260-280. I was blowing alot of smoke so I know its not lean. It was also a little erratic at times so I was thinking airleak but everything looks fine I even sealed the engine when I first got. I also noticed the carb wiggles. I know I did not overtighten and It cant really be tightned anymore. Should I call racefactor about it? This engine does have gobs of power though no problem launching the big tabletop. Just need to work it out for next weekends race. Thanks guys
try shaving a bit off the carb pinch bolt ( the ends ) .. i think they may be meeting before they get a chance to grip the carb throat...
