2.0 RTR Carb issues

[slick2872]

I have read about some issues with the servos for the RTR. I have not seen anything about any carburetor issues. Mine is new by two weeks.. about 3/4 gal thru it so far and the carb slide gets stuck. sometimes it wont go to idle.. sometimes it gets stuck and wont accelerate. I made sure it was clean.. boot it not torn. I even lubed it to make sure. Same issue. Everything is lined up and the server pulls straight. Anyone have any suggestions?

BTW my throttle servo burned out on me too... thinking its the carb issue that caused it. not sure since there are known issues with servos.

Thanks for reading.

I had exact same issue. Contacted Losi and they replaced the servo and told me to send the carb in. I ended up taking the spring off and have had no further issues. The spring seemed to add a slightly 'off center' pull to the carb. Maybe I'll stick the spring on and see if it functions any differently.
