I recently acquired a mgt 8.0 after it was collecting dust in a storage unit for two years I got it running and replaced the fuel lines and tank. My main concern is my throttle acts like it sticks when I start driving right after startup and I've checked my carb gap a million plus times and its closed and my idle screw is back out almost all the way someone please help

Did you take the carb apart and clean it really well by soaking it in DA or fuel? 2 years could have caused it to gum up some and hang up on you.

If it's been sat for two years, I'd recommend putting some fresh fuel directly into the the carb and pulling it over. This should remove some of the gum to get it going, the rest will come off during running. I'd also advise giving the whole carb a really good clean with nitro cleaner to remove any fuel that's gummed up. Also check that the servos are functioning correctly and that the glow plug and igniter are working properly.
