Agreed, if your having trouble during the break in stage its probably just vapor lock in your gas tank. Unscrew the gas cap and if you hear a hissing sound, theres your problem.LightForce said:
Could you further explain this vent modification process?Zapped said:
Okay,What you need is a piece of fuel hose,a hose fitting like the type used on the nitro exhaust and an inline fuel filter.What I did was drill a hole in the cap a little smaller than the threads on the hose fitting,screw it into the cap,then attach hose and inline filter and secured it to the rollcage . Here is a photo of it finished.City Divided said:
I don't think you can buy for just the gas cap alone, you have to buy the whole fuel tank. Unlike hpi that there are after market gas caps available. Even if let's say you can buy a gas cap it's not a garantee that it will solve the problem. Most of us are doing the gas cap vent modification, because your problem is usually one of the problem that we encouter before.bctech said:
Yes, it works the same but the problem is because of the small hole size, it clogs up pretty fast especially in dusty conditions.Remember it sucks air through that hole also pulling in fine particles which eventually builds up and blocks the hole and when this happens the fuel doesn't flow freely.It's just like putting one hole in a can of juice and trying to pour it out,it just trickles out until you put another hole then it flows nicely.bctech said:
