William Dunlop Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi, I have an Evo 15 cc, an original one which relies on exhaust pressure, like a glow motor, to get the fuel to the engine. I have had the engine a while but have only just started trying to use it. The problem is that it runs well for a few minutes and then the tube from the exhaust melts, or softens, and falls off including the tubing supplied with the engine. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Damms Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi William, sorry to hear about your woes, I've got 2 evo10gx's that use exhaust pressure and had no problems. I use the original supplied tubing in the tank because it keeps flexible and from the tank to exhaust and its never melted. I wonder if this was mistakenly shipped with the wrong tubing. I believe the correct stuff is VITON part number EVOA104 which doesn't go hard like tygon and will take the heat from the exhaust.

Neil (Itisme) Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I have one, i'm using silicone tube (i know for nitro) for the pressure line from the exhaust to the tank, it handles the heat with no problems, with no signs of it breaking down yet (about 9 months use so far). The supplied line for mine kept slippng off when it got hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
