RE: My car doesnt wheelie anymore!
thunderbird junkie i have noticed that nitro is always on the chassis right after im done driving it..... also how would i figure out where this leak is coming from? could a problem also be that the high speed needle is tuned good but the low end needle isnt? (or the other way around) it is kind of hard to tune since it was tuned in Delaware and then i brought it here so i dont know if that is another problem

RE: glowplug destroyed..
is it lean if the car would turn on only when you would pull the trigger throttle a lot, and then when it would run, it would idle high, and turn off wheni woud stop?

RE: TNX Subforum
so i just started my ol tnx after its been sitting for a while... when i start it, it only starts when you pull the throttle, and the needle in the carb opens up pretty big until it starts (like half way open) and when i go with it, it idles a lot until it settles down, but when i brake, it turns off.... now im guessing this is the idle screw problem?? how can i get it back to factory setting? i have tried in and out and still have the same problem
