t maxx 3.3 will not start

[groundrod84]

ok i just rebuilt the motor because i jumped it and broke the block in half so i got a new block and used my old parts which has hardly anytime on them maybe 5 or 6 hrs maybe anyway i get it put back together and when i try to start it its like it wasn't getting fuel so i blew in the line that hooks to the muffler which got the fuel to the carb but would still not start so i put a few drops of fuel in the carb and opened the throttle and it started till it run out so i took apart the carb and cleaned it and still had to blow in that line to force fuel to the carb and it would start and as long as you kept the throttle about half it would stay running but as soon as you let off it would die and not start back till you blow in the line so i cleaned my muffler and still doing the same thing any help would be nice pulling my hair out on this one

Sounds alot like the issue I'm having with my maxx right now still working on it tho

I've tried everything i know of

same here only thing i havnt done is replace clutch shoes. Although i switched them out with other sets i had laying around to be sure that wasn't the problem. Changed my fuel line along with fuel tank. Have switched between two diff 3.3's and one 2.5 and they all do the same exact thing.

[Childresshunt]

[groundrod84]

It may be the lack of punctuation. If you want people to read your questions and take time out of their lives to help you, you could at least use punctuation to make it easier to read/understand. We're not asking for people to be English majors before posting on here, just put forth a little effort.

check to make sure the blue rubber boot is on the carb all the way. make sure it does not have any tears or holes in it. it sounds like the same problem i was having with a rustler i had and come to find out the boot for the carb had a tear in it
