Default OFNA CHROME TOP

You have got to have a good strong starter box with breaking in NEW engines. Ofna Chrome Top works very well. As the guys suggested, Preheat to 220F, loosen glow plug 1 turn + tighten when started, wrap with tin foil (put a sock over head also if needed. And don't be afraid putting 20 tanks fuel on the ground very small circles in your garage....keep it out of the snow. Heatcycle breakin easy on the ground may not be the fastest/most convenient but is by far the best, that which you will be rewarded with performance and longevity. Good luck! Hope this helps.

+1 Both good boxes. The chrome top used to be the king, but the truggy start with lipo power blows it out of the water.

If you have the mixture filthy blubbering rich, it'll cause the engine to cool as soon as it starts, causing it to bind. Depending on how much pinch it has, you may even need to heat it while it's running for the 1st tank or 2.
