smiithy1 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 hi all last time i had my copy baja out i was running it i the street out side my house very small and i was keep tapping the throttle and after about 15 mins it stalls is it coz im keep tapping the throttle but my main problem is that today i have went to take it out for a run but she wont start i put her on the garden table turned on remote and reciver and then checked steering and throttle and brakes were ok so i pushed the choke into the vertical position and give it a few pulls untill it fired and then put the choke back to in the normal postion and i gave her a few pulls and she rawed to life but it was only for a second or two and the she died so i pushed the primer bulb a few times and tryed again and it done the same so its still on the table as i think i have flooded it but what do you think as im realitvy new to these petrol cars a quick reply would be grate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darryl Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 sounds to me more like L&H needle settings are wrong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiithy1 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 it must be the h needle coz the l needle is ok as the idle is just right how much turn will i need on the h needle and what way wil i turn; it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I would put both the needle back to factory settings wich are 1 1/4 out on the lo speed and 1 1/2 on the high speed.To put it back to factory,screw the screws in until they stop and then undo them the rite amount of turns just like you would on a nitro.The high needle is the left one and the lo the right one as you look at them.These engines only need small adjustments from factory settings so dont go crazy and move the needles to much.Hope that helps a bit.

Sounds to me if that is the case that your settings are incorrect as there is excess fuel in the chamber - reset back to factory and changfe your plug mate.
