[QUOTE="sr5bidder, post: 1315340, member: 98736"] Go ahead and try it cold then get it up to normal op. temp and try again, compare the results. I had raced rc trucks for 6 years and have seen many wore out engines (piston/sleeves) people chase the "tune" around the carb and can never get it to run right when its warm. I myself have done this and when I would buy the new piston and sleeve ($25) it would run great and was not so finicky about carb settings. Also I've seen and experienced with two stroke motorcycles people tuning to the point where there motor will run great with lots of power by leaning out the jets while it doesn't lean seizure on them it does drasticly shorten the usefull life of the piston and cyinder. For me I keep my settings fat as far as jets "spooge" is fine with me, its the lack of that would scare the hell out of me. "spooge" or as I think of it is unburnt oil, oil that did not get to fulfill its dream of becoming blue smoke it is also oil that past through the crank bearings, wristpin and cylinder walls keeping everthing happy and reducing wear. sorry for the long post I just get frusterated when everyone starts buzzing around the carb and jets and so on when there are so many other possibilties [/QUOTE]
