snchris1 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) ive ordered it, just out of curiousity how did you know it was the right one? also need a new glow starter the one we got bent wheres the best place for one of these and any kind? i was on google for about 30 mins looking around and i found this http://radiocontroll...wplug-warm.html at the bottom it says wildfire nitro and the link i gave you was the exact same product but just from a uk site....so after you get your glow plug put it in and tune, and if you need more info on tuning look at videos on youtube theres lots.... and if you tuned it and somethings still wrong take it to your local hobby shop and ask them it look at it for you....and if you need any more help just ask....and yes any glow starter will work, you can get them on ebay or at your local hobby shop or most online hobby shops chris Edited January 15, 2012 by snchris1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HATZY Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 do you have to reprime it before it starts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snchris1 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 thanks ill order that one, hopefully get them on tuesday and get the car up and running ive heard to use after oil, what does this do? after run oil is something you put in the engine after use to prolong the engine life and other things. did you get the glow plug i told you to get or a different one....glow plugs are all different, the look the same but arent...and if it is the glow plug it old you to get increase the idle a bit and if its a cold day the engine might cut off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 do you have to reprime it before it starts? What do you mean reprime? Some ones said the carb might be blocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboyneil Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Good question the way I checked was to Unhook the exhaust put fresh fuel line to engine and blow down it and feel the exhaust outlet to see if I could feel it the other way I heard of was spray plenty of wd40 into it but putting nitro fuel in where the air filter goes can also work just make sure it's gone before you put air filter back on Edited January 16, 2012 by fatboyneil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 When you say engine would taking the air filter off then say put a straw into the carb (the bit you can open and close with the remote control and seeing if it comes out the exhaust outlet will that work ?

fatboyneil Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Wouldnt put anything into the carb don't know what damage you could do but spraying wd40 will shoot out exhaust port if it's all clear and blowing in fuel inlet tells if that's blocked but if it's firing up it ain't blocked it's just a matter of setting up right before you try to start it (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HATZY Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 if you have a wire brush, snip off a brissle. use the brissle to probe out the jet on the hsn. its possible old fuel has congieled in there and is causing your blockage. also are you sure the lsn is set right? what you describin can be caused by an oober lean lsn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Any stiff brush hair might do (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Cheers I'll give that a try aswell. It might well be the lsn, do I screw it in or out to richen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
