Default break in problem

Ive never had this much trouble with a break in before. Im running a .28 axial engine in my truck and im following the directions. It tells me to not to adjust the idle so i dont. First tank my truck is running rich, and slow. 2nd tank though it kept shutting off. So i kept starting it back up and when i go to hit the throttle it dies. so now i cant even get the damn thing to start up. Its not flooded, it just wont start up. Any ideas? Should i mess with the idle? Im not too good with MT stuff, they are so picky on when they want to run. [:@]

It happened to me one time. It simply raise the trottle a little bit on my radio controller. That way i was able to start it up and make it iddling while slowly returning trottle to neutral.

Maybe it will help maybe it wont.

Hmmm I just came back from my MGT acting funky (ive never had this much trouble! lol) Apparently everytime it started up(and it did), it would just drive on its own, WOT into my tree. [:@]

So I looked at it, the electronics were fine, but i found my hump pack was defective![:@] So Im charging up my other hump pack and seeing if it works. But i did get it to start up! lol its finally going somewhere!

Maybe I should stick to my stadium truck. [&:]

just lean the high speed needle and it should fire up, and keep the throttle open to about 1/4,

Well, I got it to run 4 tanks today without a problem. I probably totally messed up the break in but i dont care. lol

Oh, for some reason i decided to take off that pump thing in the fuel line, after that my truck ran fine. So maybe that primer pump was the bad thing?

Idk, MT's engines are weird. [sm=surprised.gif]

My nitro doesn't have a "pump thing," but if yours was allowing in air, that could have been your problem.
