smiithy1 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 hi mate it seem as if it has fuel delivery problems as mine did the same check the fuel lines isnt kinked or pinched and make sure the breather hole on your gas cap is working ok put it to your mouth and give it a blow through also take the plug out and leave it out for a good half hour as it may be flooded and also put it back to factory settings ( high needle 1 1/2 out from fully in and low needle 1 1/4 out) if you have messed with any of the needles i advise any1 to not touch the needles if its a new car untill they have ran a tank or 2 of fuel as just a little bit movement makes a big differance and can cause you massive amounts of trouble (i did mess with mine and i couldnt star my car for a week no matter what i tryed) also mate try this forum all are helpful gotpetrol forum and try the baja forum also rcuniverse forum you will have to make and account but the people are very helpfull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiithy1 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 also how much oil are you using in your fuel as just a tad much could cause probs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul01562 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) also how much oil are you using in your fuel as just a tad much could cause probs 25% oil for the first few run's i was told to mix.Im using putoline 2 stroke oil. I havent touched the card or try to tune it. it wouldn't run with a brand new card either. Edited January 17, 2008 by paul01562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darryl Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Have you got compression when you pull on the pull start? It sounds to me like its nipped up. Hope this isn't the case though, especially as it died & came to a rolling stop. If there is compression then check that the spark plug is giving out a spark by removing it from the head, reconnecting the plug cap & holding the body of the plug against the cooling fins of the engine & pull the pull start. If its not then the ignition isn't working. There should be a good spark visible. If this is not the case then check that the stop button is not stuck in then check to make sure the ignition box is set correct against the magneto & working hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
