try setting you carb back to factory settings. that would be a good place to start.
I have a pull start and I like it I have a trx 2.5 and hated the ez start if you tune the motor right you ac start the 2.5 with 1 or 2 pulls

Sorry... I'm not a electric person...
Electrics can be faster than nitro... but how many electrics do you see doin a controlable weelie down the street at almost 50 MPH? Not many...

I consider a controllable weelie, a weelie that you can do anytime you want, at any speed you want, while holding the weelie for as long as you want, While going in a straight line, if you want... JMO
