First Post and Frstrated Grrr

Hey everybody thanks for looking and any advice. First off get the obvious out of the way. Tmaxx 4908 3.3, break in went fine got through about a full gallon then jumped her and broke a-arms upper and lower. Put her back together and now have the inevitable no idle problem. Ok so it has no idle, she dies if i let off the throttle, dies when i brake, and i have to start her by giving her gas. I have been lurking and searching for different problems that may have caused this and i will list what all i have checked.

1. Air leaks-sure can't see any cracks on the head, fuel tank or any where else
2. Tried about every tune possible to get her to idle and run correctly even got a flow chart off this site if i remember right. HSN 4 turns, LSN flush, Idle 1mm or tiny bit smaller
3. Clutch shoes seemed fine to me, spring was tight and when i took it apart the spring had a bit i mean small bit of a bend in it nothing i could see that would cause a problem though. Bearings spun with out any kind of grit or grind
4.Trans and slipper clutch seem to spin and rotate fine w/o grinding or excessive force.
5. Linkages seem to be in proper alignment when i put it back together this will be check again to ensure it wasn't the linkage. This seemed to be the culprit at first, but a check prior to break down of the clutch didnt show any linkage out of whack.

When i would try the ez start the truck does want to lurch forward that why i dove into the clutches. Any other suggestions that i may bypassed or advice as to which above needs to be rechecked. Ask any question you may have and thanks.

Sounds like the idle screw is too low and perhaps too rich on the LSN making it not able to idle low enough without flooding and stalling.

Is it lurching when it starts when your applying throttle? Take out the glow plug and run the ez-start on it a bit to see if it lurches then. If not, then your shoes/spring are probably ok and once you get it tuned well enough, you can drop the idle down so it doesn't drag the clutch and also doesn't die.

However, if it lurches with the glowplug out and ez-start running, you have an issue in your clutch somewhere and this would cause it to not idle, but rather kill the engine.

Thanks for the reply, when i get her back together i will definitely try to see if it lurches with the glow plug out. What could i do to see if it is the tranny right now, i have the motor off the chassis. I guess i am asking is there anything i can do to see tranny might have problems, symptoms or what to look for. Man i have turned every screw on that carb in 1/16 in increments then set them back to stock and tried again lol. For my sanity sake i hope its something else.
