Drives forward during idle

[majed]

Hi there,

I am a newbie and i bought the Rampage it ran good at the start but now as soon as I start it the vehicle runs forward really fast so I have to put it over a rock to hold it still the tires spin really fast.

I went back to the manual and i found that i need to adjust the throttle plate and idle screw but I really don't get it. can someone please help? and do I need to heat the engine before I adjust them or I can do it before I run the vehicle?


Regards,

Do it with the motor running.
Screw the idle screw out counter clockwise until you get the desired idle

Hi there,,
thanks a lot , I made a smooth start and it did start for like 5 mins while the engine heats but then it just stopped, I have tried to re run it again for an hour and my hands got cuts haha but still didnt work, I checked the batteries charged theem again and tried to run it but still didnt work so i gave up..

Is the tank vented?
Did you try taking the fuel cap off?
