startup after hop ups

[jonathan13]

Okay guys as some of you know I just recently added a power starter, hpi air filter, inclined velocity stack, Walbro 990, and aluminum intake.


I finally got her to start but she immediately went almost wide open throttle. Luckily I had it on a stand so the wheels were free spinning. Any ideas as to why it would immediately go wide open?


My throttle linkage is not engaging and opening up the carb any so I know it's not a throttle adjustment issue.

I know it's a silly question but have you checked the idle screw?

 

[jonathan13]

I have. That was a good suggestion though!

Sometimes it's the most obvious things that we overlook

It's not too lean?

Air leak maybe?

Sounds like the linkage is engaging the throttle while the servo is in the neutral position.

My air filter was very slightly hitting the linkage and causing the butterfly to be open. Swaped the throttle and steering linkage on the horn and that is taken care of but now I can't get it to start. I am almost positive it's a tuning problem.

Can't sort it out right now though because I believe I have already broken the drill I bought lol
