Did you re-seal your carb when you put it back on???? Sounds like an air leak my friend.

 

[t-maxx noob]

no i didnt i just tighten the littile bolt or screw

You really should re-seal that. Could have an air leak. That's the very first thing I would do for this problem.

I haven't had to do this myself since i'm still a noob at this as well but::

about 1/3 way down the page is the information you need (I think). This is from the "nitro tuning tips" sticky post.

Good luck!

You'll need sensor-safe, high-temp copper rtv. Put a light coat on the carb seal and let it sit for a couple of hours after you reassemble.
