Sounds like a radio problem, without starting the car turn on both the reciever and the transmiter and see where the throttle servo is in the idle position and go from there.

o do this, with out turning on your radio or reciever start the truck if it goes full on ilde somthing wrong with the engine. but these engine when you prime them you get alot of fuel in the engine and when you start the engine revs high even on idle to burn the fuel out when you start try to start it and if it goes to full let is do it for like 3 secs and if it dont stop then its somthing with the rado

hmmmmmm, this is what you do, take the servo saver of the servo. make sure the carb is at idle. if its not when you close it all the wya than adjust the idle screw until it is. then turn on you radio and reciever and set the throttle trim that its at 0 or the middle on our radio. then while the carb is at idle the servo saver back onto the servo making sure the carb is at idle, this is done with the engine not running
