  1. Hello all

    I am new to the RC Nitro world but old to RC with electric cars. I need major help. I have just finished (5 days ago) installing my Savage X SS (baught from Modelsport UK) and It seems that the engine does not want to start. I've tried all the tips I could fing on the Internet from HPI forum and savage forums, youtube etc. The engine won't start. I have even tried today warming the engine with a hairdier which someone mentioned in another forum. Engine sounded better but still did not start. Have in mind that in Greece the weather now is very warm anyway.

    Other info: I baught from a local shop fuel 16%. Do you think this is the reason? I doubt it.

    I just broke my pull start (cord came off after about 10 pulls x 3 days). I have ordered an HPI rotostart 2 set from Modelsport and I have to wait for the delivery untill I try again.

    Other info:

    - start plug and glow plug work fine, I've made the test and it glows just fine.

    - I pull the start 3 times with the exaust pluged to get the fuel into the engine before placing the start plug.

    - I've took the engine out of the car 4 times now to clean all the fuel from it. Never had any fuel coming out of the head. (maybe this is the problem?

    Any help will be welcome :(

    Cheers

    - today, before I've made any try to start, i tried to blow directly into the fuel line to get more fuel into the engine. It looked like the fuel went in the engine fine.

    Has anyone ever faced such a tuff engine? Is there any posibility that it never starts?

    -

    So what was the problem and how did u fix it?cuz i have the same problem now but it will some time start (after a day of bleeding hands and bad back :( )
