Starting engine
 
hello
i'm new to petrol car and know little about it. anyway i bought a second hand car (pureten world cup edition) and the tank doesnt come with a pump so i'm wandering if there's a way to start the car without buying a new tank ??

you will have to use a starter box... that gets the fuel into the engine and starts it... so thats a good idea too if you have a non pull start engine... cuz then thats the ONLY way to can start it... unless u have REALLY fast fingers to turn the flywheel
:lol:

its a pull start engine :(
someone suggest that i put my figure over the muffler and that should put the fuel into the engine when i pull it (i think)

That way should work fine zoombie. You could also blow through the pressure line, which is a faster technique, but probably too gross for most. (or too much of a hassle). As soon as you can spring for one, I would suggest a starter box. Even my dad who has no idea how somehting like this works could tell some person asking him that a starter box is 10 times better than a pull start. Pull starts suck, big time.

does a starter box help in starting a low compression engine ??

BTW: does anyone knows what the optimal or recommended setting for the Kyosho GS11R ?
