Just Got One

[dzylzzrd]

This thing friggin rocks! Handles great. I'm starting to get the hang of it, but it stalls immediately if I roll it over and gas leaks profusely from the cap. I think the seal is damaged. I think these tires are great too. They kick it up in my yard It's another beautiful day.

gas should only leak a little from the cap and it should not stall when you roll over, make sure the rubber in the cap is set proper

 

[dzylzzrd]

you cant think like that, yes milwaukee is a good brand, just not for this. The bits are not precise enough and will wear out at a quicker rate, I have them, and pick the mip over them. Milwakee is ok to chuck in your bash bag for a quick fix, but not for any real wrenching for extended periods of time.

I get what you're saying. I just don't have the money right now.

Yeh, it's not. I fiddled with it with a small screwdriver, but it's deformed. I'll have to get a new one, I guess.

Oh boy! Here we go. Something came loose and melted lol. I thought I smelt gunpowder or something and I didn't know where it was coming from. I'm gonna let it cool down then bring it in. I noticed it was braking when I let of the gas too. I hope it's not something that's gonna put me out of business til I can get parts. I hate that I feel like I have to say this, but please don't scold me for not tightening that screw beforehand. Thank you.

EVERY FREEEKING TIME
Heres the thing, it comes loose once and then never again it’s a Baja thing
How long u run it like that?

 

[dzylzzrd]

Now he tells me! Yesterday and today til just awhile ago. All I did was screw it back in real tight. I wanna keep playing. I'll see if I can get it all the way out and put some loctite on it later. There's a part of the brakes blocking it.

 

[RcJunkie13]

Jus back it out as much as u can, add a drop of loctite or 2 and tighten it real good

 

[dzylzzrd]

Ah! Brilliant. Thank you, sir.

 

[dzylzzrd]

Oh no! I'm almost out of two cycle oil. I bought the HPI brand. I figured a whole bottle would last me awhile. Does anyone know if regular Stihl chainsaw two cycle oil will work or maybe I can find a dirt bike shop still open?

Go to Walmart and get some super tech oil

 

[RcJunkie13]

Get something like amsoil dominator or anything like dirt bike grade 2 stroke oil. I would advise against the stihl, it’s made more for like weedwackers and chainsaws, and I don’t even use that in them

Go to Walmart and get some super tech oil

Make sure to go for the synthetic kind

That's all I run in everything.....

I actually just go and squirt some wd40 into my gas

Now don't be silly, I'd at least reccomend a quality non detergent 30 wight if your going to be cheap.

Ah that would actually be cheaper, good thinking

I think dish soap and piss is a good option, keeps everything nice and slicky

I use bar soap and soak it in the gas sometimes, nice and slippery
And you can also use some olive oil or any other cooking oil
For after run oil and storage for extended periods of time I use some tide laundry detergent

 

[dzylzzrd]

fiddlestick! Everything's closed. Oh well. I've got enough to make a half a one of these plastic bottles that comes with the kit. I found this perfect hop in my yard that launches this big bastard perfectly aloft into the air if i hit it just right and I just can't stop lol. I'll figure something out tomorrow. Thanks again.

Keep laughing that's all there was before dedicated 2 stroke oil came about. Have a few old manuals that even state mix ratios down at 16 to 1.
