  1. So my new parts arrived today! Pull start with spring and pin New air filter foam New shell I fitted the pull start and air filter foam and although Iv only got old fuel I had a go at starting it. The pull start worked a treat and after a few attempts it started! The car isn’t running very well or for very long, which il put down to the bad fuel but I also imagine it needs to be tuned! I had a play around with tuning it but I wasn’t making any progress with my knowledge and the old fuel. Are there any good tutorials / videos on tuning a nitro engine? For basically a beginner! Would anyone local to Wiltshire be willing to give me a hand? Happy to provide beers or cash! Thanks again for all the help! Im happy Iv actually got it started! Arthur
  2. What pins? I’ve checked the manual and it doesn’t look like I’m missing a spring.
  3. Gave the car a quick clean yesterday, hoping to order the parts I need today!
  4. I think I may just take a gamble, il order the bits and go from there
  5. Thanks for the help Chris I might order that pin just incase, do you think it comes with the spring? im also thinking of buying this https://smddirect.co.uk/collections/force-brand/products/fma-b21c not much info on it, do you think this would fit? Worth a gamble? thanks Arthur
  6. The car used to have an attachment on it so it could be started with a roto start so I’d imagine I pull start could go on. i don’t think the crank is damaged, I honestly haven’t got a clue about engines but surely if I got a pin and I assume a little spring and put it in the crank that should be ready for a pull start? thanks
  7. Iv had a look in my stuff and I can’t find this pin! I assume it would be a pain to try buy one? thanks for the help Arthur
  8. So is there supposed to be some sort of pin in here?
  9. Thanks for the links, I will measure the shaft and get those ordered if you think that’s what I need? The 26 head came with the engine from new.
  10. Thanks for all the replies! I will post photos as I progress with getting it going again! can anyone help me find a pull start or torque start to fit my engine? I’m not exactly sure how it’s supposed to work? thanks Arthur
  11. Hi all Iv decided to get my old nitro buggy out from my parents garage to see if I can get it going. it’s always had issues with starting and been unreliable. I’m going to order some fresh fuel and glow plugs, what else should I do as it’s not run for 5 years maybe? also, I’m fed up with how difficult it’s always been to start, if I remember rightly it came with a torque / drill start thing, (sorry I don’t know the name for it) I took it off and just started using a starter box but wasn’t always easy. whats best to start the engine? Pull cord or a drill? Iv got a few decent drills always charged for work so would be keen to use those if that’s better than a pull cord. The car is a Jammin X1CR which I got from America maybe 10-15 years ago Its missing a few minor bits, are there anywhere I could get parts for it in the Uk?
  12. Okay, so little update, a few months ago i took the car apart as i smashed the front end up took me a wile to get the parts so it was left unused for ages, today i rebuilt the front end, that was a right puzzle! and now the engine has seemed to seize? any ideas why? i took the clutch off and it then seemed to turn in my hand and the piston was moving up and down but when fixed to the car is won't turn with the starter, any ideas?
