I have tried everything to get this engine to idle correctly. Runs awesome at wide open throttle. I have a picco carb on the engine which got rid of a fuel boiling issue i had, but it still wont sit and idle. I checked it for air leaks and the only leak it has is a tiny one at the rear starter shaft bushing. I cant see that being an issue. Never had an engine that wouldnt idle at all. It will start to idle, then a few seconds later if you dont blip the throttle it just dies like you turned your real car off.
@gravediggerfan93 Yes, I have fought this engine ever since i have owned the truck. I bought the truck used and they dont make the LST2, so i doubt they'd help me out now, but id really like to have this running right. lol I CAN make it run if i raise the idle pretty high, but then it doesent have as good of response and I cant stand to listen to it run like that. haha

Thats a very unusual engine, the only thing I would know to try is turn your idle way up so that its idling extremely high, other than that I would call Losi and see what they say, you might get free stuff out of it :P
