leaning out,

[the1320god]

so the last time i took the truck out its was all good tell the end.i drove it back to me and it was reving a lil high and sounding lean. plug looks fine. so thats when i ordered all the new parts. (intake, 990 carb). well got it all ready and for it to run i have to have the lsn at 2+ turns out.... so ive tryed all differ combos like putting the stock carb back on, stock intake, stock carb with new intake.... all doing the same. and she still wont idle down. so i pulled it all apart and checked the head bolts, one was a lil loose. so i tightened it up. still doing the same.....any ideas?

Which rampage is it? Is your tank vented.

 

[the1320god]

Mt. And yes its vented.

What about the idle set screw, did u back it out some?

Yep. And it don't do much tell the vary end and it dies

There is a air leak somewhere the problem is going to be to find it. Have you checked the fuel lines? Since you changed out the carb.

 

[rcspeedmart]

Also is your gasket intact and tight not broken or have blown out anyplace?

 

[iwik76]

Have you checked for air leaks around the carb the intake manifold might be leaking or have warped and is letting in extra air to the fuel mix.

Do you think if the head gasket got messed up that would do it? Cuz one head bolt was loose???

 

[Caveman80]

its possible for the head gasket to do that

 

[the1320god]

That's all I can think of cuz all the stuff I changed didn't change what it was doing.

Can I use just rtv only on that. ? Be nice if there's a lil room to get the comp up a lil bit. If not, should I just get a paper one or are the Cooper ones OK? Also I'm seeing on the side of the jug that was loose there's a wet spot around the gasket ...

Make shure your fuel pick up in the tank is in the resivor ,it may be sucking air.

That will work that is probably the problem there should not be a wet spot around the gasket. The paper gasket works fine.

Well ill try and find a gasket here locally, if not I will use some rtv. I will let u know the outcome. Thanks for all the help.

 

[Caveman80]

I believe that your local parts store would carry sheets of paper gaskets you would cut your own out of it.

 

[the1320god]

So this be a good one to get? Probably order a few. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.7580/.f we have a nice lil lawn mower shop that has a ton of parts. Maybe I will get lucky, but I not planing on it lol. if not i will try making my own for now.

 

[the1320god]

Also, can I reuse the piston ring? Not to much time on it?

The blue paper gaskets haven't failed me, yet. Just torque the head bolts properly and you're good to go.

pulled apart and the jug /head gasket was in pieces. made myself a gasket out of a form-a-gasket package. then used some on it test it tomorrow. hopefully that will get me though the weekend lol.
