i have a tmaxx 2.5 and the engine keeps cutting out on me. I started at 4 turns out on the hi speed and tuned it from there and still keeps cuttin out. The temp doesn't even go over 160 f. it seems to be cuttin out right after undergoing medium to heavy acceleration and it cuts out every time after i hit 2nd.

HELP!!!!!! plz

thanx

try cleaning your carb and make sure u adjust you high speed needle first then after you find it has most power with plenty of smoke just back it off just a little bit so you dont kill your engine. then after you have it runngin at good temp bring it in and pinch the fuel line and see if it shuts off betwee 2-3 seconds. then adjust the idle

Could be your glo plug gone bad, dirty or old fuel, poor needle settings.

Just start up your engine gun it for a few secs till it gets warmed up and see what happens.

If you have run about 3-6 gallons through it already, how bout time for a rebuild? My buddies Terra Crusher did this too.

had a 1.5r w/ roughly 12-15 gallons thru it. we are at the crazy weater time of year where you find out if you can or can't tune or just need some practice.

where i live i think i'm like 5.5-6 turns out on hsn because its kind of humid.

try a new plug and see what happens. could be yer fuel filter's clogged. or how bout that dam oring in the tank might be jacked. or how about the air filter
