Davidwoth

Davidwoth

sorry can't problem with the camrea any way im a noob its like been worn away roughly around the bottom maybe a new carb in oder? also how should the carb be sercured in place?

Davidwoth

I ve worked out whats wrong but want to know why. AS im sure you all know the bottom of the hp carb for the s-25 has a metal rim on it and this has detached from the carb and is stuck fast in the carb hole with a huge chunk of metal missing out of it also the bottom of the carb is chipped away like its been contently snaded down rith rough snad paper any input welcome!

is the engine toast? or u just need a new carb?

rcnitrohead

I think he has the "spinningcarb" problem. I have this on my S-25 and it cant be fixed from what Ive heard. The carb throat in the engine is stuck out and the carb locking bolt doesnt catch anymore. My carb now easily pops off and moves around a lot Need STS .28!

benzzyo5

just sayin if u he needed a new carb, i have a brand new never used never put fuel through. mach .26 carb that will fit the ns-25 and it's alot better and made from all metal, not plastic like the stock one. i have it from my aftershock. i put a sportwerks carb on so now i have this extra brand new carb

Davidwoth

that wouldve helped if i hadnt bought a new carb body on ebay for $18.99

benzzyo5

yeah, did u order the stock body? it's probably going to happen again, ya know. if it does i would just upgrade to a new engine, it's a good excuse

hi yall ,savge 25 ya my carb is dancing around to .i pulled it out and managed to lock tight the ring back on put it back together made it through three tanks so far still holding on. i'll do it again and again and ag....... oh is there a carb up for sale thanks yall

benzzyo5

pm me

Davidwoth

my problem is that the metal ring is in the carb hole now and dosnt want to come out!

benzzyo5

it depends on another buyer at the moment

rcnitrohead

Yeah i decided I well let my truck sit in the basement, sell the engine for parts, and buy and STS with pipe after my birthday.[] Only 4 months until I get to drive my truck[:'(]

benzzyo5

try rigging somthing up for now, like put electrical tape around the neck of it and put it in and put the pintch nut tight. it's worth a try so u can get going a gain

rcnitrohead

Yeah but it has 2 gallons on it so maby I could get like $50 for it. Its in decent shape so I think I will sell it along with my Hot Bodies tires[&o]

benzzyo5

well if u do you'll be closer to an sts

You say you haven't ran the truck yet?
If thats the case send it back to HPI and get a new 1.
Don't even bother with any fixes or buying a new 1..if you have already bought a new 1 ,still call HPI ,and they will send you another free!

no it was 2nd hand i ran it once or twice in the garden 1st two times just on two wooden blocks with gentle revs then cutting it then started it up drove it it had tons of power until it got stuck in the fence any way ist time ive driven a nitro and i am only 12 so once its fixed to a field to practise a bit[>:].

Still send it back to HPI if you KNOW it is under 2 years. Thyey warranty engines for 2 years I think, so it could be worth emailing them. I just had to send them some pics of my broken engine head and they sent me a new one, I didn't even need to send it back. If you can get your camera working.

Davidwoth

no it looks over 2 years old i dont no for sure so il leave it. its bought so if it goes again new engine excuse. oh and it was my phone camera not my digital one which i couldnt find.

rcnitrohead

Ohreally 2 year engine warranty?????!?!?!?!? Mine is a year old with two gallons! You guys think I could get it under warranty if I call them up? Then I could sell the new one on ebay lol and buy an STS already! Please tell me what you think, ill call them in the week depending on what you think. Ive run only 20% Byron's on it ever since and maybe 5 tanks of Top Fuel, its in relatively good condition and pulls hard, its just te damn carb!!!!!!!!!!!![:@] I can actually do wheelies in grass with the stock S-25[>:]

benzzyo5

it's worth a try the worst they can say is no.

amwhite2005

Just check that it is a 2 year warranty in the US. I know for sure it is here in the UK.
