well i was runnin my maxx and it lost all signals and went full throttle into a car my air filter popped off and i broke alot of things in the font end and when it was under the car it kept reving up and i mean alot louder then usual and when i finnaly got it out i put it away and i cleaned it then when i came back to start it again it wont start and it always seems like its flooded and it wont spin then i turned the wheel that turns the piston and it will idle a little then it will do the same thing and i try to unflood it but its not flooded and the motor led wont light and I'm worried that there is something wrong with the piston or the whole engine ANY SUGGESTION WILL REALLY HELP
THNX
 
he means try spinning the engine over by hand and listen for metal to metal contact, might have messed up the rod
 
ok now something else is happening it seems like when the glow plug is in it wont turn at all but when i take it out it will turn so now wats is happening
 
I personaly would take the rear cover off the moter and look for metal shavings
 
if it turns over with the glowpulg out and wont with it in its called hydro-locked an whick means it is flooded and would also tear the engine down and look for damag because if it was running at very high RPM's for a good period of time while it was under te car you could have easily damaged your con rod
 
ok well then how can i tell if the rod is damaged
 
by taking the back plate off and looking at it or taking the piston out along with the sleeve
 
yea i know how to get to it but like what are the sign of it being damaged
 
yes it is so STFU...................................................................................................................................................................................................................ok happy there ya go those will last me while, this is just a forum

i know stop worrying about periods why does it matter
 
lol dom but dude if you say you air filter popped off and it started reving higher and made funny noises then you prolly got sum serious dirt or a friggin rock in you're carb or sumthing to that extent and deffintly take apart before you run it you should have looked at it before you pulled it right after it ran w/o filter. so check for any muk in side chamber and look for damage to rods/piston/shaft anythnig they pretty much got it
