hay all i have a revo trx 2.5r. When i start it it will run then die after
a sec or two. It was runin fine all week.Please help me :help:
 
Is it dying when you start to pull on the gas. If so i dont know i have the same proble. But if the car just sits there at idle while your doing somethig else and dies just turn up your idle or lean it out a richen it up a little.
 
Take your engine back to factory settings found in your book, start there. You may need to look for air leaks like around the gasket for your fuel fill and lines.
 
Is it dying after you remove the eazy start or glow ignitor? Could be your plug. Need some more info like, how much fuel has been through it. If it's new are you past break-in. What fuel are you running?
 
It has a gallon of o'donnell 20% through it.and i replaced the plug. still i start it and when i take the ez start out it will stall. I took it down to the lhs and they got it to run said that it was to much WD40. took it out today and same thing so i will bring it back. there right down the block so no big deal. thanks let me no what u think
 
Since you're in Deer Park, i have good reason to believe it's your tuning. Temps here have been pretty cold and only just started to warm up. You will need to retune. If you have messed with the needles enough, bring the needles back to factory settings and start from there.

You said that it dies immediately after you remove the EZstart. This leads me to believe that your LSN is too rich. Lean it out 1/8 turn and try to start.

Here is a flowchart that someone posted a while back. Use it to learn how to tune instead of taking it back to the LHS everytime. It'll save you some frustration and cash.
