Priming 2.5 T-Maxx
I have a T-Maxx with the 2.5 EZ start system. I usually prime the motor by using the EZ Start and my finger over the exhaust outlet. Usually the gas flows quickly to the carb. Now it's flowing to the carb. but very slowly. Does this mean I have a leak? Thanks.

RE: Priming 2.5 T-Maxx
Check the compresion of the enigine, or take some Nitro Clean, and then take off all your fuel line, and spray it through the line, make sure it is not connected to the tank or the carb. If you do this and it still is moving slow, take some Coppertek Copper sealent, and some Q-tips, and put it in bettween the backplate and the crank case, and usually were the o-ring sits for the carb, this should take care of your air leak problem. But in most cases, at least for me, it has just been something in the fuel line. Good luck.
