Today, I was bashing at the BMX track, sadly I got there way early and was bashing by myself. The track proved to be muddy and I didn't feel like fishing the car out of the mud if I flipped it.
So I mainly stayed in the big open grass field near the track. Just tooling around. Didn't even take any huge jumps. About an hour into bashing the engine started to idle high and sound lean, so I richened it up a bit, and it took a whole hell of a lot of richening before it sounded normal again. Power was down a bit, but not that bad and it still had plenty of umph. But it was drinking nitro like crazy.
Well, I had a family emergency so I left the bash early.
Just got home not too long ago and started tearing the car apart for cleaning.
I was undoing the enginemounts and the engine came out of the car no problem.....then the mount flopped off the engine with the mounting tab still attached....

That explains the high, lean idle and missing power.
I don't know how this one happened. With the OS i figured cause I was jumping on concrete, but this blows my mind! I was just tooling around in a open field.
The engine was running fine for nearly an hour before the high idle and lean problems started up.
How's NR on warrenties? Is anyone selling a 2nd hand NR 528xr block?
