I have a T-maxx 3.3 and i hadnt run it in about 3-5 months. i started it the other day because I'm about to sell it. it started fine after a few pulls and ran great. then the next day i went to a family gathering and they all wanted to see it run but it wouldnt FRICKEN start. i heated up the engine and still nothing. after about five minutes of pulling and heating the pullstart would not retract normally. i could get it to retract with some finagling put it would work right. i took out the spark plug and pull the pullstart and it worked perfetly fine. the truck didnt sell so I'm going to sell it in the spring instead which means i need to get it running before the snow comes.
thanks in advance
 
sounds like the one way bearing failed or is very close to failing completely. same thing just happened to me just last night.
 
Remove the one way bearing and soak it in denatured alcahol
