my new yokomo car I got about 3 weeks ago has been acting kind of weird, it will not turn on without me pressing the throttle a bit, and when I do get it running it will shut off in about 7 seconds, my dad said he has been messing with the idle screw and trying to get it to work, so yeah that might be the problem, and if it is how do i get it back to normal, thanks, bryan.

ok will the car set still and idle ? if not u need to run the idle secew in some till it will , after u do that u shuld be ok if now try resetting the servo and that should get it going

try turning up the idle.

Still won't work Ive tried to run in the idle screw and nothing it won't stay on for longer than 7 seconds.

Lean out the low speed needle. It is to rich and is flamming out.

P.S. Only lean it 1/16 of a turn or 1/8th of a turn.

rasta ,
if u still have the paper work for your car i would put the settings back to the orgnal settings ,
just a off guess how much compretion do the motor still have ? is the flywheel easy to spin over?
