ok another question, is anyone else having surge problems with this e-k-4 moter , i know usually surging means air somewhere but i have fixed everywhere it might not be sealing,(o-ring under carb,sealed exhaust,o- ring behind starter assembly)now it revs about 3 thousand higher than goes back down & does this constantly, this truck has not even left my table , i have owned two monster pirates since thay first came out , and two worlds buggies and have never had a motor that is such a piss off,so anybody who had this problem and fixed it please help,its driving me nuts!!!!

Try richening the low speed needle a little - I'm assuming the problem is occuring at idle.

I ran mine the other day it was about 47 degrees outside. I had needles set at: 2-1/4, 2 , 2-1/4. Running Traxxas 20%. It ran perfect till i crashed and broke the right front steering knuckle.
