5t please help guys.
 
How many tanks of fuel have you run through it? Have you re-tuned it since you broke it in? Default settings are rich.
 
Help

the truck is new maybe 4 tanks of fuel through it max it is not hard to start fires right up but the engine is new of course it is I just have no bottom end to it checked my hoses carb I am running out things to check I'm hoping you guys have some ideas for me to try. Some people say it is to lean some say it is to rich like I said I have tried everything that I could think of so far. maybe some of you guys know something I don't
 
Did you try leaning out the LSN? What is the LSN set at right now? Have you tired adjusting the needles? Factory setting of 1 1/4 out on the LSN is RICH. Put the needles back to factory settings and re-tune. Much of this information is in your manual.

If you have been running it for a while running rich you might want to try another plug. You can get plugs at most auto parts stores for under $3.
 
I would pull the carb apart and clean it in either carb cleaner or petrol, strip it down,soak in petrol and then blow down the holes with a small straw. Set back to factory and go from there. You might want to make sure your Air filter is clean too and don't over oil it..

What carb has it on, 608,668,813 or 990??
Check your Coil gap is set right, use a Business card as the gap settings and i'd change the plug to..

Take it the engine is slow to pick up, only if the engine picks up ok but the and car is slow to move off then it could be something else other than Carb settings, if its slow to move off then check Clutch and spring, Spur/pinion, Wheels Hexs aren't rounding off..

Being it is all most new and only has 4 tanks of run time I would not think the carb would have dirt in it and should be OK. Being it is a stock T it should have a WT668 on it. He never did answer if he had tried adjusting the needles. If it is still set a factory settings no wonder it does not run properly.
