I was wondering if it is bad for anything if I run the t-maxx with that like blue thing that goes over the spring on the carb off, or slightly off, because when it is on all the way, the carb won't close all the way, but with it just off a little(the end by the carb not on the grooved part) it will close all the way, I just want to make sure before running it like this, if this is bad or not.
My R/C's:
T-maxx 2.5- front rpm a-arms, front/rear alluminum skids, pull-start, ofna failsafe, 5 cell hump pack
xmod red 1969 camaro with 6 cell conversion, stage 2 motor and body kit
xmod Red Toyota Supra-no upgrades.
xmod Silver Acura RSX-has green underglow lights, and blue LED exhaust, and body kit.-My parts car(as it is broke, and too lazy to buy part to fix it)
xmod Yellow Acura NSX-has body kit(sometimes put the RSX body on it)

I guess no one here knows, I guess I will just run it with it slightly off and hope for the best.

you need it. It prevents dirt and crud from binding up your slide. Get a new one and replace it asap.

what do you mean? is it not priming right. heres how i prime my engine(it may not be the safest way but im still alive and have been doing this for a while now) i pull the line from the pipe and blow in it, causing pressure to the tank forcing the fuel to the carb. hope this helps

Once I was testing my fuel tank for a leak and there was none but I went to take my mouth off the line and got a mouthful of fuel:puke: it had a tingling feeling....lol
I either blow through the line or put my finger over the stinger to prime it.

didn't you say your truck doesn't stay running? hmmmm.... I thought it was the fuel lines too, but I replaced them, and still no luck, which is why I said I am going to try blowing in the pipe end.

No need to be an ass.  I didn't think of the pressure differences untill after I left... no one there said anything at the time. It it over and the fuel line is shorter and the motor is tuned beautifully...
Now this is supposed to be related to the T-Maxx carb only so lets keep it on topic...

I bought 2 feet of fuel line, and have at least a foot left, maybe a little more after changing the lines.
