Help ME!!! T-MAXX

[bigdawgracer]

Hey I just was playing with my T-MAXX and I cut it off and brung it in for a refueling. After fueling I let it set for about an hour. I just now tried to take it outside and start it. I ran into a big problem, the motor would turn over for about and a second, then it wouldn't do anything like it was locked up or something, I took the glow plug out of it and put in a new one. It still did the same thing. Then I took the glow plug out and hit the starter button, some fuel sprayed out and the motor turned over fine. I put the plug back in and it still did the same thing. Yes I made sure that the glow plugs where the same, and they were. I don't know what to do now!!! Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Your engine seems to be hydrolocked. Remove the glowplug and turn it upside down so the excess fuel runs out of the cylinder. Make sure that all dirt is cleaned from around the glowplug before you do this. Make sure that you do not lose the copper glowplug gasket when you turn it over to let out the excess fuel.

I had a similar problem. The problem turned out to be a broken connecting rod. I'm assuming that your engine is the TRX .15 that came with the T-maxx. IF all else fails, open the engine and see if everything looks right. Keep us posted.

you are probaly flooding everytime you go to start it, and are hydrolocking it constantly.

Do not prime the engine as much.

Prime the engine until fuel barely reached the carb and then turn the engine over and let it pull it's own fuel in. Also try leaning out the mixture needle before turning it over again, and close the carb barrel (idle adjustment) a tad bit.

It sounds like you are drowning it each time.
