i teflon taped all 3 needle threads(hsn-lsn-idle screw) and oiled all the o-rings,the carbneck,backplate, and carbneck pinch assembly have also been sealed,all the composite to aluminum seams have been epoxied on the carb.
no change same issues, just cant be in the tuning because the previous owner i bought it from had the same problems (he never told me)who happens to be a pro 1/8 onroad racer.
these needle have been turned every which way a thousand times and its always the same thing.
i have no choice but to pull it out, i just cant do anything else with it
