Losi 5t 2.0 runs on its own and it’s been doing it since 2nd tank after running in only does it after I pull on 3 1/4 throttle or full. I’ve checked every seal and gasket and everything is snugged down I don’t know what it could be maybe a faulty carb perhaps! ?‍♂️

p.s. unable to upload video
 
It’s not a linkage issue it’s been tested and inspected carefully have no idea what it could be, wish I could upload a video
 
Have you checked to see if the butterfly has a good transition from full closed to wide open an not hanging up?
If it was a linkage issue wouldn’t that mean it wouldn’t idle correctly at all? ?

I think ,if you have a weak return spring or even a stock weak throttle servo ,it may not return fast enough when
letting off the throttle!

throttle and brake work complete fine it seems like the butterfly may stick open slightly enough for the engine to engage the clutch and accelerate slightly? but i took everything apart and opening the throttle myself manually and letting go it doesn't spring back and close itself every time, carb issue then?
