Sport Maxx engine help needed
I replaced all batteries with brand new ones, I charged the EZ Start Controllers battery I went to start the motor and nothing, I looked at the led lights on the controller and they weren't on so I replaced the glow plug with a brand new one and still nothing happens. What could be the problem? I hope its not new motor time. Thanks

you mean both lights are not on if so check to see if the ez start wires are on the ez start motor and not fell off
also there should be the motor light on even when you just press it when not connected to truck

unless they light up when the wand isnt in the truck trying to start it. then its new motor time

Yeah if you push the button when the wand isn't in the truck the green motor lite lights up. How much does a motor for the controller cost?

RE: Sport Maxx engine help needed
does it turn over? or u just press the button and nothing happens? if it turns over and doesnt wanna start, its gotta be flooded or an airleak...check all fuelines and the O ring on the inside of ur gas tank lid....if it doesnt turn over it has to be something in the ez start, wires, ez start motor...make sure all the wires look perfect...and the 4 prongs on the truck part of the ez start go into the 4 holes of the wand...sometimes they break off...also make sure all the wires are in the right spot...i havent been able to start my motor before because i forgot to ground it with the yellow wire.
hope this helps.

I ordered a EZ start wiring harness for it the other day, if that doesn't fix it I think a pull start conversion is in order or maybe just buy the 3.3 and replace the 2.5 in it.

Alright. I got the new EZ Start wiring harness in from rcboyz.com, and it still doesn't want to start. The green l.e.d lights on the controller don't even light up, the green light for the motor lights up untill I attach it to the truck then no lights. I replaced the glow plug three times so far and still get the same thing. I am about to throw this up against the wall. I am thinking of just buying a 3.3 for it with pull start and be done with it.

I got it fixed, I took it to the LHS and they put a brand new battery in the EZ controller and it turned right over. I now have fuel spitting out the muffler like a garden hose.
