hi
i am new to rc petrol cars and i need your help please. recently purchased a used fg marder from this guy who showed me the marder running and everything and told me not to mess with the carb settings as it was tuned, he is a rc car enthusiast. anyway got it home and ran it a few times and it was fine that was until the fuel ran out which was still in tank from previous owner. i got some fuel and mixed the fuel 25:1 but because it was dark i think i must have put more oil than what i should have, i also cleaned the air filter with water and engine degreaser and sprayed with k&n oil filter oil. now it bogs on accelaration and my conclusion is too much oil/i didnt dry the air filter properly/not using the proper cleaner which is causing the problem. any help or advice would be appreciated.
thanks
