Mesh Screen worked

[Minnesota RC]

After being out for an hour in a grassy field, the copper screen mesh I made to keep grass/debris out of the flywheel and compacting near the coil worked. I took the head cover off to confirm no grass was near the coil, and maybe a clipping here and there but that was it.

Z, do you see that the grass was all clumped up on his crankcase and no overheating?

Wasn't talking about that, was referencing the thread we derailed a few weeks back. But yes I do see that

That just makes me think there was an underlying issue with my ss?

Could be. Or maybe that v2 case is just a flawed design

 

[crucialRC]

Maybe. But no prob with Doug's.

 

[Z.hb71]

True ?

 

[DougStar]

I tend to agree. My rc's always get plugged with grass, never once cooked a head from it.

@AnubisBC also has the v2 reed motor??

Yep, got it clogged up with grass underneath last run and didn't cook it. I was even running lean that day due to some sort of blockage in the carb (glad I caught that one in time!). The design of the case kept the grass from infiltrating the flywheel and clogging up the ignition, just like a mesh mod will. I agree with Crucial. I think his issue was due to more factors than just grass.

If it is underlying, I hope it doesn't rear it's ugly head again, now that he has a new top end ?

You right about that?

After a few tanks pull the head and see if you're getting minor wear marks. Hopefully you catch it early if you do have a issue.

Oh I sprayed her out with wd40 and drained it 4 times looking for anything to fall out. I didn't find anything. I will do an inspection after a couple tanks and let you guys know tho??
