Default RE: Problem with throttle control on my Mayhem RTR...

My friend:
Mmmmmm....you talking about two problem.
1.- You dont have a no middle throttle.
You need to adjust the blue throtle position
I dont have the pix in this comp..is in my home. Let me find it and I'll send it to you and you can check if you have the same like the pix.

2.- the engine warms up
I have exactly the same problem like you in the past. And I receive a litter answer but they cannt fix the problem.

Do you know another reason the motor warms up quickly?
The motor try to move, but something in the clutch cannt give them move freely.

Please check the centr of diff is move freely and the clutch.

You dont have problem with the idle.....because they cant warms up engine quickly than the clutch can move freely.


ORIGINAL: Deanwvu

It didnt idle high (i dont think so). At least, the clutch did not engage. Its just when I applied throttle (from radio) it went from idle to FULL OUT--with no middle throttle at all. That problem I have figured out.



I have noticed one weird thing about my idle--and I've been fiddling with it a bit. It seems that when the engine is cold, and I start, idle is good.

But, after I run it a few minutes, and the engine warms up, I bring it to a stop (usually to check the temp cause I am paranoid), THATS when the idle seems too high, sometimes engaging the clutch and rolling forward slowly. If I kill the engine, wait a bit, and restart, idle goes back to normal. Also, when I read the temperature, it wasnt too high--maybe around 200 deg F.

I am not at home so I cant check that carb gap till later...
