Default GT2 Problems

i am having huge problems with my GT2. i can run one tank through it to warm it up and tune it but when it runs out of gas and i put new gas in it then put it on the starter box it wont stay started. the starter box starts it but as soon as i take it off the wheel it stalls. i have run almost a gallon through this engine. can anybody help me please???

I've seen this happen to several people now I'm beginning to think this is a problem with this truck. I'm having the same problem with mine. I got the stock engine with about 12 tanks in it. to me it seems like it's a fuel tank flaw, it primes the engine when nothing is covering the pipe and my engine locks up all the time. I tried everything I can think of but all I can figure is its a tank problem.

to test if its the tank flooding it, run the car without the exhaust pressure line, it works and can be done, i was shown by the Australian AXE rossi supplier, and i then ran my engine like that from then on.

you do what i said, thatway the engine is sucking its fuel rather than being force fed, do what i said and if the problem persists than its a tuning or compression issue.

I could never keep one of those motors alive for more than a gallon and I had two of them. Is the sleeve just made with poor quality materials?

Check your fuel. I had a similar issue with my Hyper 7 and tried different glow plugs and mixture settings only to find out my fuel was bad. If it doesn't burn your nose hair, it's no good.
