Well ,,,, that was fun ! Trying to remember what I did a year ago as to what screws go where and much more testing of my rotting memory , got the jewel put in mounted , and the truck is compleat together , started to install the pipe and low and behold that dam tmr motor came back to haunt me , I had to raise the gas tank for the tmr , it's way to high for the new pipe , I'll have to take the tank back out and lower it a bit , but things are going fine , installed the throttle linkage , looks to be working fine , needs adjusting of course , but the darn thing is coming to L I F E !!!!

After seeing what a new body costs for the raminator , I decided to drywall tape n shoo goo the inside of the body , all it takes is very cheap drywall tape , go to wall Mart get shoo goo for $5 a tube , seran wrap , and a glue gun , administer the tape , glue gun it down , spread shoo goo one finger tip full at a time , with gloves of course , and some good ventilation , body takes ten times more of a beating for sure

I'm running the Full Force kit. They will seem a tad loose until you pop the rubber grommet in the tank opening. I also used the Snappy RC tank kit plug fitting kit. It snugs up very nice. No issues here. Are yours installed w a fitting in all three holes?
Be sure you are using this Snappy Kit with the Full Force:

I thought we addressed and resolved this issue last night with either fuel sleeving the full force fittings or getting the Snappy Rc kit? ?‍♂️?

thats because u didnt fit sum fuel tube on the fittings BEFORE putting em in the grommet???
 
It's 40° outside so I brought the rig upstairs , outside , I was told to take out the plug and give it a few pulls to get gas going through , it wouldn't pull the gas through , so I put a little in the cylinder and it pulled the gas through as it fired , but it won't pull the gas through the carb , fires Everytime I gas the cylinder but that's it , I'm wondering about eliminating the venting compleatly ? Waiting to hear back from primal RC before making any changes ,,,CRRRRRAAP !!!! But that has got to be the coolest sounding engine I've ever heard , like a mini really tight dirt bike sound , WOW ! COOL !
