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.

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.

its good nitro. its only 3 months old at the most and its been constantly used. it never sat for more than a week.
(by the way the fuel i use is ritchs brew. if you want to use it give Randy's Hobbies a call. 281-469-7000. im on my 3rd gallon of it its great)
