I'm new to Revo and new to this site, I've just bought a used Revo with 3.3 engine with pull start and the problem I'm having is after running for about 15 mins, it's just completely dead, won't start in anyway till I let it sit there for about 15, 20 mins then it'll be able to restart. I would say once it's cool down.

I noticed some smokes came off the glow plug and some fuel on top of it once it gets hot. I used a glow plug wrench and try to tight the glow plug down in case it loose but it was tight.

Anyone experienced this problem, please give me an advice how to fix them.

Thanks,
 
sounds like your out of tune, possibley to lean. what temps are you running?
 
yep could be too lean. you should get one of those temp things/ or just do the spit test, you put a drop of saliva on the cooling head and if it boils it right off then its too hot, but if it takes 3-5 seconds your in good temps. if your glow plug is tight and you got fuel around the plugg i would guess that your cooling head is leaking or you just might not have the copper shim that comes with the glow plugg?
