I've just got a Revo 3.3 (5309 model) and the engine is not sucking the fuel through the line??

I've tried covering the exhaust pipe and it starts to climb up the line but barely gets anywhere. I've taken the fuel line off and blown through it to make sure it was clear. What else could i try?

Sorry for the noob questions.

did you set your high speed needle to factory setting?

mr.s4ndm4n

(again sorry for the noob questions..)

run the high speed needle all the way in till it stops but dont go tight just till it stops,then turn it out 4 full turns and try that it will be rich but you can tune it in 1/8 th at a time till its good.

mr.s4ndm4n

Okay, that got the fuel through the line the very first time! Problem is that it still isn't cranking??

check you low speed needle for factory setting? You mean it isnt firing up?

mr.s4ndm4n

Yeah, i checked the low speed needle and its good. Just read in the manual that it should be flush with the end of the slide.

And yeah, it just isn't firing up. I'm affraid to keep trying as i'll just flood the motor?

I have the same problem, Ive done everything the guys have told you and it will not start

don't be shy!
if it is not flooded , it needs more gas!
( you can check to see if your glow plug is wet by taking it out , to calm down if you need too )
but it will become very hard to turn over if it gets flooded.
be sure you're glow plug is lighting up buy testing it outside of the engine.
then just give short bursts to starting ( 1 or 2 seconds )
and try opening and closeing the trim or thottle as you crank.
try wide open a couple shots ... then hold the brake for no trim a couple shots.
and if it starts to sputtur just keep triing different trim or hold the gas more or less. ( at first the book tells you use the throotle trim ... but after i found buy fluke when my trim stopped going down ... that starting useing the finger on the gas starts faster.
but you need to be able to hold the radio and the truck with the same hand.
and the starter with the other ( or pull cord )

These motors as very simple guys, you're both overlooking SOMETHING, they need FUEL, and SPARK.. if you're getting the fuel to the carb then check for spark (glow plug).

my glow plug doesn't seem wet, adjusted the trim, held the throttle act like it was going to star but didnt

try priming it a few more shots of starter with the exhaust blocked.
once you get used to starting it ... the sound changes very slightly as the gas gets into the motor when you're priming.
but don't worry about the sound just yet ... just get some more fuel in .
be sure you're trim is turned up high as you're priming

mr.s4ndm4n

i've never seen how a glow plug looks when its lighting up the correct way?

If i'm outside, will i still be able to see it light up clearly if its working right?

mr.s4ndm4n
