Hello, I am having troubles with my 2.5 t-maxx. I had cooling problems in the past, so I bought a new cooling head. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Engine-heat-sink-Cooling-Head-Fit-T-Maxx-Tmaxx-Revo-2-5_W0QQitemZ200233384255QQihZ010QQcategoryZ19167QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

It worked well, but then I abandoned the hobby for a year or so.

My issue is that my truck's HSN is out 3 1/2 turns and seems to be really rich. I have plenty of blue smoke coming out of it. it will usually start and run fine for 2-3 mins but then it will just die out at high speed, and then not start again for another 3-4 minutes. Now, this is where the strange stuff starts happening. It should be way too lean, but when I hold the throttle open 100% (engine is off) and flip it upside down, fuel pours out of the carb. It runs at about 270*f and I am burning 20% nitro and 16% oil.

Does anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
