Yep i think my binding prob could have been the fuel, but it could have been an adjustment i made also.
I put a little larger ball cup on the ball link witch allowed it to move a little freer than the losi one and also got the engine up to temp where it would bind then adjusted the linkage while it was hot and now its bind free, still binds a little at wide open, but allot better. But also changed fuel at the same time so that could be it also.
In terms of plugs, my C4 that i used for for break in has died at the 4ltr mark, is that good or bad?
Dont have any more GRP plugs atm so im having to use OS's. Put a P3 in it witch lasted 2 tanks then a OS hot plug witch is on its way out, they seem to be dieing under rich conditions with this engine, they seem to be alright if the engine is running under high performance lean conditions.
Also stuck a Jp-3 pipe on the engine and wow was the stock 2053 suffocating this engine, it breaths allot better now.
