T-Maxx won't start. clicking??

[ksarge91]

I had two problems with my truck today.

Problem # 1: Starts right up and absolutely screams. It revvs really high but dosen't go anywhere?

Problem #2: I got it home and tried to start it again in my garage. All I got when I put the EZ starter up to it was a click?

Any ideas?

Thanks guys

Problem 1: Sounds like a striped gear.
Problem 2: Sounds like it may be flooded?

ALright thanks. How would I go about fixing it if its flooded? Hold it upside down? I know with jet skis when we sink them we pull the plugs and crank it until they're clear and then fog them?

I remove the glow-plug, tip it upside down, put the EZ start in and try starting it. Gas should come out if its flooded. Then put the glow-plug back in and try again.

I'll give that a try. It won't crank or anything though. Just clicks. GLow plugs fresh.

Stripped spur gear?
