    Losing RPM

    When we “blew” the air through the lines tubes and vent I didn’t notice anything. But then it is hard to see into the tank through the little opening there is there.

    We blew out the vent line. Ran both motors off of a 6 gallon remote tank.(ran good) we took the fuel cap off. The one thing we couldn't do was clean the dip tubes but we blew them out and they sounded wide open. About the only thing we didn't do was rotor router out the lines. I think I am...

    Losing RPM

    I checked the Serria Water/Fuel filters which are located just prior to the primer bulb and they seem fine. There is one for each line. I am not a mechanic...what is the Vst? If it is the screen filter on the motor? If so we took it off and check the screen. Seemed fine. I can't get back...
