I bought a T Maxx 2.5 used off ebay. After putting batteries in and charging battery pack I tried to start it. It turned over but did not sound like it was close to firing up. I looked up the factory carb settings and adjusted it to them. It sounds like its about to start but wont. I did prime the engine by blowing in the line that connects to the exhaust. I replaced the glow plug (before I did anything) and tested it by holding it against the block and it works. I'm not sure if this is normal but after trying to start it i was moving the truck around and some fuel came out of the exhaust. I thought it might be flooded so I removed the glow plug and turned it upside down, I read to do this somewhere on the internet. I then checked the glow plug again, it is still working. put glow plug back in and tried to start it..... NOPE!!!! Anybody have any ideas on what to try next??? I dont know if it matters but.... The truck came from Maine and I'm in Arizona, thats why I put the carb back to factory settings thinking change in temp/altitude could be an issue and i could fine tune it after I got it running...Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!
