T-Maxx trouble

[Hamelton Racing]

ok I have a T-Maxx 2.5 that I bought brand new. but now it loads up all the time, when we shut off the gas, it starts. is it getting to much gas? Please help me as I race it weekly and need to get it fixed before Sunday. thank you in advance

I would say its a tuning issue. I can't remember if its too lean or too rich. If I had to guess I would say too rich but I'm not 100% sure so don't go adjusting needles on what I said. A member with a better memory may be able to help you.

i'd say to rich, i had the same problem, it always loaded up and flooded, i'd say lean it out a little and see what happens......update us then

I'm not quite clear on... "when we shut off the gas, it starts". Explain further?

I think he means when u pinch the line and start it, it starts, and runs then shuts off when it runs out of fuel. I had the exact same problem. It wouldnt start, but when i pich the fuel line it would start and run untill it ran out of fuel. without the fuel line pinched its getting to much fuel and loading up and flooded. All i had to do was lean it out and i was fine, also replace the glow plug when u get it fixed.
