Here's what i think. Either u have a bad glow plug or your settings are all messed up. The 2.5 kinda screws up on its own. (Found that out on mine)

Because the T-Maxx tank is higher than the carb when its full, and you close the cap, that has enough pressure to start fuel moving in to the engine. I only fill mine part way before I start it, then I top it off.

Since you said that you replaced the head I am guessing it was running hot. If you still have the stock pipe you may have melted the baffle inside. If this is the case when you go to start it you are essentially priming the engine and it will flood. Give us a call, as we are glad to help you try and troubleshoot the issue over the phone.

sounds like the settings on the carb..i have a ofna buggy that does that sometimes and i just lean it out some and it takes care of the problem..factory settings are really rich anyway so i would try leaning the settings a tad..also make sure you got a good charge on your igniter..
