conchp Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 okay new head, new gaskets, new piston rings and my baja still wont start, there's no fail-safe problem ect the only thing i can say is the piston rings when fitted in the head, the gap is really tight, almost closed. please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Is the piston ring gap facing the right way. Reset needles to factory. Checked for blockages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_RCModelz Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Was the coilpack hanging off like that when trying to start. If it was fastend and it was just the switch not connected that wouldn't stop it from starting just wouldn't stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark35 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Looks more like tryed to start with the coil hangin a been caught in the flywheel an thats what pulled the wires out.. just a guess though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conchp Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 not hanging now and spaced it with card, still not starting, a wire connecting to the switch has come apart would this stop it starting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_RCModelz Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 No it would not stop it starting you just wouldn't be able to stop it. Is your piston in the right way round (the joint on piston ring should be at carb side) also have you checked to see if there is a spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conchp Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 yep and yep its piston ring gap is where it should be and there is a spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conchp Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I can smell it ahaha and tanks not been open ect for a day and only smell it when pulling on starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Are you priming the carb? Are you using the choke? After you have been trying to start take the plug out and see if it is wet with fuel. When you pull the start can you feel compression? Pipes on the carb. right way around ( Pick up pipe lower connection return pipe upper connection) Edited February 28, 2015 by Ian w 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conchp Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hmmm the plug doesn't seem wet at all, I can feel compression and its airs pushed out the exaust, hmm the original problem was just not starting when I ran it the night before, the fuel when pushing on the bulb seems bubbly in the tube when pushing the bulb, the bubbles channel back into the tank when primed? If that's any help? (Not all the fuel has bubbles/throth just certane bits ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Make sure the pipes are on the right way pipe from the tank to the bottom connecter return pipe ( usualy clear yellow) returns to tank, fuel in this pipe does sometimes apear bubbley. Also make sure the clunk (The filter thing in the tank) has not got caught up somewhere and is in the fuel. When you pump the primer fuel in the yellow pipe should go back to the tank, if it does not the pipes are reversed. You are using the choke ? Choke on for 2 or 3 pulls or until you hear it fire then choke of. Edited February 28, 2015 by Ian w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark35 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Set the carb settings to stock? 1 1/2 H 1 1/4L should run then if every fhings right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conchp Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Manchester mate & hmmm how cone it ran to start with but now needs needles reset? Just to get things straight and organized ahaha here's what happened and what's been done The night before the car ran fine next day no start. Took out the plug and wiped of oil, was then cross threaded so no compression. New sparkplug, head, 34mm x 1mm piston ring fitted correct and new gaskets fitted. Coil housing or whatever it's called was properly put in place and set above flywheel with card. The pull start now doesn't return fully, it needs to be pulled slightly more to return in place, I'm guessing this is because of the flywheel and the magnetic bit There is a spark No sign of life with choke on or off It just smells of unburnt petrol when pulled Compression is also not an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_RCModelz Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Check to make sure the rubber insert in peyrol cap is in fully making sure the 3 little tabs are sitting flush and then make sure your petrol cap is on fully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_RCModelz Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 When your piston ring is on is it free in its slot so it can move in and out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Bet it's the fuel cap, mine did the same, it was ever so strange to why it wouldnt run, lol! The hole in the fuel cap was blocked up the rubber had sealed its self up after the factory put the hole in it, or moulded it, I drilled it out the rubber bit and it was sound, I couldnt believe this rubber thing was causing all this hassle, lol! Try it I couldnt believe it till I checked it. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
