OK thank you ill have a go nowok, so I see a few things. 1 I'm not sure your linkage is set up quite right, because it's not opening fully under full throttle.
as far as the closing when you brake, that's what the idle screw is for. pop the ball end off of the carb (I use pliers that makes it easier). then with the spring still on, just you carb to have a 1mm gap like the pic I sent. that way when you brake the screw will keep the carb from closing fully like it is right now.
try that then send pics of that see how that works.
Full throttle and when I let go of brake ,ok, so I see a few things. 1 I'm not sure your linkage is set up quite right, because it's not opening fully under full throttle.

Thank you so much for your help I have one last question I've seen so many people say different things about breaking in nitro engine, What's your methodlooks good! I would try to run it now. start with it off the ground on a stand or something. that way if it malfunctions you don't have a runaway truck. let it warm up. if the idle is too high or too low adjust it with the screw, not the linkage. it should be low enough that it won't move when idling but also doesn't just die.
OK ill get it out and brake in later by those thank you. I did get it with engine but wanted advice from people who knows best.https://www.hpiracing.com/assets/documents/instruction_manuals/111603-f35_v2-glb-m-v1.pdf
there is a link to the manual for the f3.5. there are many different ways to break in an engine, I've always gone by whatever the manufacturer tells you.
I still can't get it to fire at all, my roto start just spinning s and even a splutter, what have I done wrong.just take your time and go slow and you'll be fine. it'll take a few tanks
If I put a rag over pipe to get fuel through its not pulling any at all why could this beI still can't get it to fire at all, my roto start just spinning s and even a splutter, what have I done wrong.
On the roto start has like a over heat button when it tries turn over it pops, I can't get it going at allpopping the button? not sure what you mean
Yes I was told not to use drillsouds like the rotostart is bad. do you have a drill
Hurrrrraaaayyyy it starts but cuts out unless I operate throttle manually as I'm breaking engine in it say to have remote off but wheels spin if I let go of throttle it cuts out straight awaysouds like the rotostart is bad. do you have a drill
Why is this, it say not to adjust anything but how would I stop clutch engagingHurrrrraaaayyyy it starts but cuts out unless I operate throttle manually as I'm breaking engine in it say to have remote off but wheels spin if I let go of throttle it cuts out straight away
Hi sorry maybe I didn't explain very well,the thumb screw that's on the linkage towards the front of the truck in front of the servo is to adjust brakes
OK thank you, I didn't know if I could use trim for that thought it was for startingyou could either just adjust the servo horn (power on the truck, remove the horn, rotate it a tooth or 2 so it's not engaging brake) or just keep it trimmed so it's not engaging the brake.
