when I tried to star my maxx the other day it took a few seconds and then vroom it started but it was way lean or somthing it ran high RPM's then died it took about 5 trys to get it started.whats wrong I have tried to adjust the hsn,lsn but nothing works.
 
Is your transmitter trim set to neutral?Have you checked the carb opening? LMK

My first thought is that you're idle gap is a bit too large... take off you're air filter an see how big the gap is when at neutral. I think it should only be around 1 or 1.5 mm. it doesn't take much to drastically change the idle. As for dying out I would rather believe it's a little to rich. As it's idling it might be slowly getting too much fuel and then just dies cuz it can't breathe anymore. I've been having the same trouble with my Picco .26s I'm just breaking them in though
 
My transmitter trim is to zero. my gap is a credit cards width.but I have heard that my maxx should idle no more then 20 seconds and no less then 10 but I dont know if thats true could this be my problem.
