Should hold off ordering till you do manifold and gaskets......and run it
Can always use a spare tank. I wont change anything else until the new isolator and gaskets are fitted and test ran.??

The isolator looks kind of moist with fluid where it may have been leaking ,the gasket looks like its damaged
from you pulling it off the head!
The isolator could be warped ,have you tried putting a straight edge on it to see ,because I took mine off the
other day ,an mine looked warped ,I will take pics of mine!
Here is mine ,it is hard to get a good pic ,but mine you can literely see that it is warped an twisted!

Ok ,a pic doesn't show too good ,so check out the vid ,I put it on a flat surface ,an I can rock the isolator back & forth ,mine
is warped bad ,an it was also gunked up all over like it was leaking bad!

 
Ok, got a little update. Replaced the isolator and gaskets and ran like a champ for 20 minutes then cut off. No fuel in the bulb again. WTF??? So I took a look along the lines...looked good. So I pull the fuel tank grommet out and the fuel line was holding on the the brass barbell by a thread then it fell off into the tank. Even with the metal clip it was loose. I bet she was sucking air instead of fuel. I replace the line with some regular fuel line and gonna take her back out today to see if that was the main culprit. Wish me luck?? O I got some goodies for her today also but she ain't getting them until she starts acting right.??

??Another bummed run but not for the fuel issue. This time my damn throttle servo started acting up.?? I got about 10 minutes in then she went to full brakes. Guess I should be glad it didn't go to full throttle right? But WHY ME?? I checked to make sure my batteries were good in the transmitter and receiver. Every time I would adjust the horn it would go to full brake again. Wonder if its Savox failsafe?

I just swapped the Savox 0235 for a spare Losi I took out the Kraken. Guess I will try again tomorrow. On a side note I met a guy at the field that came to fly a FPV drone and that thing was super fast. He said he makes em. He got some footage of my 5ive and he said he would send it to me or post it on his YT channel. It looked wild.

Damn that sucks bro. Your having pretty bad luck these days ?
 
That’s a great vid from the drone, that’s one fast 5b ??

Hope you can get the servo sorted and that it all sorted ?
Thanks Jimbo. This buggy used to be so reliable then all of a sudden WHAM!

Took her out again today and.....same shite except only got a 8 min run with a lean condition at the end of it.? No fuel in the primer. Losi throttle servo worked great tho. Packed her up and took her back home. Noticed 2 things, silicone pipe coupler was torn and damn isolator was loose again. How the hell? So I replaced the coupler and clamps and tightened the isolator again.?

I also took the stock tank vent off and installed the snappy vent in the stock location. I did notice the primer bulb is now all the way full instead of 3/4. I also noticed when I press the primer bulb there is no bubbles in the return line now.?? So ready for another run tomorrow. Wish I had more time to test.
