I have no idea what you just said. Use some halfway proper grammer so we can actaully understand you.

Ill rephrase that so someone can help him out.



What could make a TRX 2.5 seem like its blown, but it isnt. If the glow plug is bad, will the motor shut off while running.?

Yes, if the glow plug is bad, the motor will shut off while running.

Try a new one and report back.

Good Luck .!

LOL, Very good!

BTW, its an engine, not a motor. Motors are electric (like brushed and brushless), engines are strictly mechanical as their primary design.

I think everyone who read the original post knew what it said. Sometimes I think the people here just try to drive off new hobbyists[:'(]. If you couldn't udderstan the plost, y reply t'wit? Musta never read the great english translations that come with most engines and vehicles, they is much harder to unnerstan. But as to the ? asked, most likely glowplug, especially if still in break in process. Might also be way to lean if it's cutting out/dying after a second or so at wide open throttle. Easiest way to check is to pull the plug and see if it glows when you hook up glow starter, or if using easy start, pull the plug and reattach wire and hold plug against engine case while pushing easy start button. It should light when engine is turning over.

If the coil blows out completely then the engine will stop immediately but if the coil breaks then the engine will keep running until you shut it down because the coil will still glow even when broken because of the chemical reation with the methanol (catalytic reaction). However, it won't glow next time you try to start because there's no electrical connection.

Jim, I beg to differ.

I don't own an enginecycle, I own a motorcycle. I also own a motor boat.

If you look up the two terms in a dictionary you'll find that they are pretty much interchangable

Motor may be the most accepted term when refering to the device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy but to say that an internal combustion device is not a motor is wrong.

Just to add salt to the wound; Girls refer to an internal combustion engine as a motor, Men refer to them as engines, "a Tim Taylor caveman grunt and growl"
