Ironman123 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I've changed the filter on my truck from the standard one to a cone filter I've put the oil on that came with it but now it won't start well it did when I fired it up now it stopped and won't start any info would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Firstly, remove the new cone filter and throw it in the bin. They're no good for rc. Find a decent after market 2 stage foam filter. Clean the carb as its probably full of rubbish now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian w Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 How long did it run for ? check that one of the gaskets hasn`t slipped down blocking the inlet, easy to miss the gaskett hole with the bolt 2 hours ago, cookie666uk said: Firstly, remove the new cone filter and throw it in the bin Definiately agree with this they are useless. Was you diving it when it cut out.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman123 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'll put my old filter on and see if it starts and if it does then it's the filter that blocked as I don't really fancy stripping carb down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, don't be afraid to strip the carb down, getting comfortable with stripping parts like this will lead to less dithering and down time when it does have an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although like wd40 (same company makes both) they contain a high amount of solvent, which can dissolve/ aid degradation for certain types or rubber. I personally use dry Teflon based lubes, like these Most Teflon based dry lubes are best, as all they do is lube and contain significantly less solvents, they also don't attract dirt like wet stuff does 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
