ok so I've tried fixing this problem numerous times to no avail. My buggy likes to stay at full throttle when you let off the gas. It ONLY does it when it's running. I think meatwad had a similar problem. so far I have changed the throttle servo, taken the ENTIRE buggy apart and cleaned and tightned with locktite every screw. No fuel line leaks. no air leaks in the engine. changed recievers and transmitters. changed battery packs.
I knoticed that if you remove the linkage off of the throttle the carb opens about 3/4 way. it slides very smooth. I have not yet put a throttle return spring on it because I never had a problem before and when I tried closing the throttle when it sticks open running it sticks! like the servo is saying nope not gonna happen. I'm thinking it has to be in the carb but idk. I disconnected the throttle arm and started the engine and it works fine so I figure it can't be 2 bad servo's lol.
It's beginning to really frustrate me
hope you can help
thanks

OK-first-throw a small rubber band or the little ring from a balloon around the ball end and the carb throat so it stays closed when you let go of it. (no servo attached right now)

Now make sure that when the truck is off and the linkage is attached to the carb that EVERYTHING moves freely. Wiggle/shake stuff around a bit just to see if anything could possibly catch.

Do you have another engine as a whole you could drop in there (running) so you could see if it's the carbeurator?

Ooohhh yeah I had something like this happen, just remembered- check that your servo lead is not touching the spur gear or it may have gotten chewed up and now when it sits(not running) there is nothing making the servo short out, but when it rolls it completes the connection and goes wot.

the servo oneis ok I checked it all out plus put a new servo in it lol. Everything moves very freely as when I dissasempled and replaced everything I pretty mush made it new again if not better. I have another engine but I gotta take it outta the lsp urggh. I hate takin the engine outta this buggy. pita lol. I'll do the baloon thingy too now

wait so when you let off the throttle to let it idle, it revs up?? or does the carb open up??

i never had any problems.

Yeah....any possibility that the low end is SUPER lean and the top is SUPER rich to compensate and when you let off it revs up?

yes u did!!!!!! wit the hellturd

hes talking about the mayhem. not the hellfire

i was refering to a similar problem...

Get your pm's?

yes thank you.

no it stays there. dosn't rev up. I can put around all day as long as I don't hit over 3/4 throttle

actually the ofna

yeah what?? I asked 2 questions lol.

well if the carb is openeing up after he goes to idle then its NOT the carb settins, but if the carb closes completely then it could be a mixture of the high low and idle....so i would get the idle as low as you can first, then adjust the top and then the low

the carb opens up.

ponch I think the tune is actully fine. was runnin great before. I could run tank after tank and have a consistent temp and smoke

what radio are you using?

futaba 3pm fm, tried a traxxas am radio and reciever AND a hot bodies tx/rx lol. I know a little overkill but I wanted to make sure It wasn't the radio. also 2 diffrent airtronics servos
