Trucks Help Me

[Denny salva]

Hello fellow DC enthusiasts....I have many rc's, mostly trucks.....a pretty impressive lot....I am having trouble with my LOSI LST XXL2 TWO STROKE.....I WILL START, THEN DIE WITHIN SECONDS...IS THIS A CARB ISSUE OR IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ANY ANSWERS???

This could be a number of issues from the carb to the plug to the reeds to the piston rings. I would start with making sure your fuel is clean, your tank is clean and your fuel filter is flowing freely. From there, check out the carb and make sure it is nice and clean. Since you have the carb off, check the reeds under it and make sure they are not gunked up. Make sure when you spin your engine over that the plug is firing. I'm assuming it is since it does start for a bit.

And please, no all caps rage. We are all calm around here
