ok i have a os 15 in my t-maxxx and it will run for about 5 minutes then turn off and its extremely hard to turn back on it has a new plug and its tuned can anybody help
 
Does it stumble first then die? Without additional information I would suggest checking the Opti-Drive first and make sure it isn't glitching. That is usually a major headache for you TMaxx guys if you still run it. Then look for air leaks in the fuel system.
 
kinda it will run till it gets kinda hot then it turns off
 
Could be an air leak causing a lean condition which starves the engine. If you see air gaps in the fuel line you have a leak somewhere. Also, if you run a fuel filter route it away from the head so it doesn't heat the fuel and cause a vapor lock condition.
 
would the engine heating up cause it to have an air leak
 
Engine heat won't cause an air leak. Look for a porous or cracked fuel line. Check the nipples for the lines for a tight fit. Also check for a crack in the fuel tank as well as the seal around the tank lid.
 
i can't find anything wrong with the lines or the tank
