ok i have some issues with my jp s3.

it has been running like a bullet since april 2003. no issues what-so-ever. 2 race meets ago it lost alot of top end. last race meet it lost alot of top end and kept stalling.

when it was idling on the bench it would start ok then slowly get louder (like it was getting lean). i'd rev it and it would drop.....then rev up again.

i sealed the carb with loctite blue maxx and it was better but it still wasn't as quick as before?

WHY?

i took it all apart and cleaned it. the sleave had a black ring at TDC. and the casing seemed to have a white coating i cleaned the casing with carby cleaner and the casing became sticky i use kyosho air filter oil. could the air filter oil be gumming up the internals? (it is the blue stuff very similar to motorbike air filter oil.

should i use loctite blue maxx on the back case plate as well?
