i could stand there pulling the starter and my t-maxx wont start is it flooded if so how many times should i -

Question

prime it if not that what else

Answer 1

If you have flooded the engine, it will more than likely hyper lock. hyper lock is when you try to pull start it the engine will lock up. If it is flooded or in hyper lock, remove glow plug, turn your t-maxx upside down and pull the pull starter a few times. this will rid your engine of any excess fuel. have you checked your glow plug? It could be bad. Does your glow plug igniter have a full charge or fresh batteries in it? if the problem is you are not primed. you can prime it by holding your finger over the exhaust pipe hole and pull the pull starter a couple of times. Watch your fuel line to the carb. When fuel is just about to the carb, take your finger of the exhaust pipe. should start.

Answer 2

An engine that is flooded will get worse if you prime it or choke it. Hold the throttle wide open and crank until the raw gas clears out and it will start. Dont pump the throttle (gas)

Answer 3

Don't pump fuel through it, and save your fingers - get an electric starter!
