@@eastsiderc thanks for the prayers man! It’s genetic but wouldn’t change a thing about it. I’ve been blessed with the ability to help several people in my life with hearing loss. Plus, air pods that you don’t have to remove is quite nice I tell you that much lol. Buddy I’ve been getting it tuned and I noticed that it would not get up into the rpm’s. So, I nervously leaned it to the point where there’s like a powerband? Idk how to explain it man but it’s like a jolt in power all the sudden and brother it screams! My only worry is, am I to lean? I did the plug test, and after a couple quick passes at WOT the porcelain was still pretty white which worried me. I do use the VP canned fuel 94 octane. I also use the oil you recommended, amsoil interceptor. That stuff is great, burns so clean.

[@eastsiderc]

I feel like my carb is adjusted very well, the needle is set so the throttle lever is barely moved, I adjusted the pop off pressure down to about 22psi, and I’m using the spiral diaphragm in my 1107/1191 on the 30degree 38cc. It always floods out eventually.

[@eastsiderc]

Hey bro it floods out starting or just running?

[@Js_junkyard]

@@eastsiderc it floods after about a 5-10 minute run. Starting from your recommendation on baseline needle settings I work my way in. Once I feel like it’s dialed in I continue to drive it but it just floods eventually. It’s a sudden change of running well to running like 💩 to be honest I couldn’t mimic the sounds effects like you 👍🏻

Thank you jeff for the lesson, cleared up some questions i had about the fat low & idle my Baja runs good but i could tell it was not spot on , this should help me get it dialed in.

Hey your welcome Sam and yes you will get it. It is a bit different than nitro! We turn these carb needles in much much smaller increments than nitro. Nitro is fun I still have a few of them.

[@amirnewson1905]

Another well informed video brother Jeff quick question I haven't had chance to run my vekta.5 in awhile but I have been letting it idle with a little press of the throttle from time to time but my question is after letting it idle under the carburetor there's some oil but all my hoses are tight so I don't know where it came be coming from thanks in advance brother I appreciate you

[@eastsiderc]

Hey brother 2 strokes do not like to idle because there is no where for the excess oil to go and idling causes the crank case to load all up with fuel and then its spits back through the carb and out the air filter. So most likely its coming out of your air filter. Idling does a two stroke more harm than good! Your best to run the piss out of it. Thats how they are happy running and running hard!

[@charlesbartlebaugh]

Maybe im a lil slow or whatever but it is rocket science 😂😂 im having issues with my new Taylor 35 its usually the first start it seems to flood out super fast i pull the cord slow thru a few times choke on n bam shes flooded all thsi after prime but i watch a few videos n im hoping i got the tune right these can get very finicky and i getting irritated at times once i learn wla lil more i think ill be ok but thanks for all the awesome videos brother,💪

[@eastsiderc]

Hey bro Im sorry I shouldn’t say things like that. Ive been doing this for years and its easy for me and my ear is trained to an optimal tune. I’ll give you a tip, if you are priming your engine with the slow pulls and its not freezing cold outside you dont need the choke bro. Because priming the carb brings fuel to the carb only. Once to the carb if you pull the cord slowly pop pop pop you are now drawing raw fuel into the engine with each pull. Then putting the choke on shuts all the air off and only gives the engine even more fuel thus flooding it out. So try no choke after an engine prime . Another way is this …care sat for a day a week two days what ever. Prime the bulb a couple times to circulate fuel then set the choke and start pulling as soon as you hear engine pop or go ding da ding ding and cut off. Stop turn the choke off and proceed to pull start the engine. You may need a little blip of the trigger when she fires off. I hope that helps bro. A high performance engine floods easy just like a chainsaw. They can be flooded sooooooo easy with incorrect starting methods. I hope that helps you buddy! Have a great night🤝

[@charlesbartlebaugh]

I'm about to fire it up n see what happens I didn't get a chance to actually run it on the ground

[@charlesbartlebaugh]

Hey good morning buddy I did what ya said with no choke n been fine I took my plug out after I tried to tune it n it's turning a cardboard color is that good seems it may need a lil more tunning like a smidge but I gotta get two new servos n better kill switch n Ima he brappin

[@robertgp602]

So in the goped tuners world we are told that since we are pushing a body weight with these small engines that they perform alot better if we bury the idle screw all the way in and adjust the tune accordingly from there. Like 90% of the community is doing this currently. Is there any truth for this being the case for our tuning? Or should we tune the idle screw how u say to do it?

[@eastsiderc]

That is called the bartolone tune and brother that is not good . You are simulating a vacuum leak. The idle screw is there, because the idle has a circuit for adjustment, burying it all the way in is just totally not right and that is not smart at all. You should turn the idle screw just how I say to do it. pulling a heavy body is like me pulling nine gear sets above stock gears. All you need is fuel you need a nice fat low to get you going. Fuel makes power. So to answer your question brother no there is no truth in burying the idle needle. I hope that helps. Tuning is an art not many can grasp it for the tune to be optimal. Optimal is key for making all the power you can.

[@rollwiththepunches5932]

Great video buddy! 👍 Do you use a bearing mod carb?

[@eastsiderc]

I have used them before but most all mine have no bearing and work just fine. The bearing does make the throttle shaft a little smoother. But I feel the bearing mod carbs were more of a marketing pitch. I still like them though!

hey I have a Rovan Baja 5b seems to hit its top speed at Half throttle and will not go any faster after half throttle is that a carburetor problem?

[@eastsiderc]

Sounds like it could be a carb problem or possibly a linkage problem check your linkage and make sure the throttle lever is opening all the way on the carb. If that is good then you could possibly be to rich or too lean. If its not cutting out on top and just gurgling or sounding like a weed eater that wont clean out then your high needle is too rich and will need to be leaned in very tiny increments until you achieve nice high rpms. A mini tachometer cane help you with a lot to show you if you are going in the right direction or not! Happy brapping to ya bro! Have a great day . I hope that helps ya

Well brother dont ever think about ending your life man. Nothing is ever ever worth killing yourself over. Its simply not worth it. None of us are perfect. We all fall short of Gods glory Romas 3:23 NKJV never loose hope man. Keep on trying to turn your cheek to it. I used to have bad addictions and I was able to overcome them with the power of Jesus’s acceptance of Love and Grace. We cant buy it we cant earn it its freely given bro. Free !! If you have asked Jesus into your heart and you are saved then you are saved plain and simple! Your spirit is Saved from your flesh’s past present and future sins. Its not a free ticket to sin there will be consequences but just try to do your best man! Im not at all perfect by any means but my spirit is because I accepted Jesus therefore I have His perfect Spirit within me. When you learn how to harness that you will get a renewing of your mind bro and you wont wanna do the things your doing now and you will simply turn away from your sin. These things dont happen over night. Its like a seed when its planted there is time and a process that brings forth the plant that is to be. Dont give up. Dont loose hope. Life is beyond worth living! Jesus loves you man! That’s enough to live for. ! I will pray 🙏 for you homie! Never ever ever loose hope!
