Hi i am new to the fourms, and i have just got my tmaxx 3.3 running. I have been busy with my new dirt bike:first_place:. I buy new gas and the thing was spitting lots of gas so i ran it to operating temp and put all the carb settings to factory. After i did this it was idiling high so i fixed that but the wheels would spin fast (MPH depened on the settings i had put it on) and when brakes were aplied it would stall. Now the thing wont start HELP!:angry::angry::angry::(:\
 
Try to start it with the wheels off the ground; If the wheels spin when you try, check the engine clutch shoes and spring...
 
def a good place to start!! try to mess with the needles alittle more to get it started aswell try to richen the lhs a little bit you might have it to lean...
 
.

when i go factory setting on my carb i put both lsn and hsn a little rich then lean it out also id pull of your air filter and make sure you have a 2mm gap, and also make sure your trottle line moves free and doesn't hang up on anything
 
thanks i figured it out

It must be the Fing clutch shoes and springs.:angry: I had got it running but it needs to be at 70/30 throttle setting and with the trim all the way to the left.:\ There is no crack to my knowledge but i will use a soapy water solution to determine that tomorrow:ghost:. The thing bogs at high speeds and overheats sometimes. so i assuming it needs to be richer.:\ But i was launching it off a 2 and a half foot jump today:whhooo:, all i have to say is wow, mad nice suspension and roller over rating.:p: LOL
 
what did you end up setting the carbs at i am having issues with mine...
