D's HPI twin build

[DougStar]

I had the same problem when I upgraded my rcmk with obr heads, I think I used the rcmk washers or pin bearing I can't remember now?

But this whole thing has been? well wierd?‍ rcmk has supplied two different spec cranks for the same motor ?‍ the small end was .3mm bigger on the new crank? lucky it was not such a big issue ? bit of time and patience and we past that??

Yeah but, there's still day light ?

Yip there is but fek it I'll crack on tomorrow ??

I see your spark plug wire covers still look like arse.... thought you were gonna slip a bit of heat shrink over the ends to keep them from fraying ?

 

[DougStar]

As soon as find some darker coloured insulation I'll change it?? white was a dumb?‍?‍?‍ idea from the get go?

 

[Seandonato73]

Yeah just looks dirty... get some nice red covers to match your spark plug boots ?

 

[DougStar]

I was thinking a darker color wont show the dirt as much ??

 

[Seandonato73]

True that

You guys and your fear of dirt? its like your a bunch of chicks that got their new dress dirty? bunch of Nancy pants I tell ya. Go get dirty, its fun??

 

[DougStar]

But really white covers? what where they thinking ?‍ it dose not bother me right now (hence I have not changed them) coz they are functional ?? but if I find darker covers I change them??

21bb your just to lazy to clean y rigs ? or its ???‍ under all the dirt and y hiding it from us????

 

[Seandonato73]

Idk, white just doesn't go with that rig imo. I don't mind dirt one bit, or stuff being dirty. Other then the hose it off and blow dry w/ compressor I don't really "clean" my rigs. I also store them in the house. Next to where I do reloading so cant have too much crud around the area.

Nah, not lazy. I do the important maintenance religiously. Just don't care about dirt. They're literally made to get dirty. Plus I like my multi colored rig. I could've bought matching parts, but think all one color looks a bit tacky. ?‍

+1, my rig is dirty as poop (for pavement) an I really jus don't care tbh ? nothing's wrong with it (other than the absence of tirers) just dirty.

Bit hungover this am??‍?‍
Been down the cave to see what the story with the fuel tank cut and connect fule lines??.........and theres a small catch?‍ just to piss me off?

I know the return can be tuned by hand??
Can do the same with the feed?‍ or do I need to open the carb to turn it?‍

 

[Seandonato73]

Should just turn. It's just pressed in there.

 

[DougStar]

Its pretty tight?
So I can turn it by hand??

Yeah like he said, can be turned. Just be careful

 

[Seandonato73]

May need a pliers.

 

[DougStar]

That's what u thought at first ?? put my grubby mits on and thought?? I'm gonna break it and don't want pull the carb off to adjust it? this will make life so much easier ??

Should be able to do it by hand ? the 3 carbs I've had, ive been able to do by hand.

 

[Seandonato73]

Seeing how tight that sucker is, makes me wonder why they didnt use a single carb on a manifold

Nah, his grubby ? beaters are too big ?

Wouldn't that make the fuel distribution a bit inconsistent or fekey ? was thinking about this
