2nd attempt to start the engine was a fail again. I pre heated the engine and then tried to prime it. I was unable to get it to prime, and eventually enough fuel got in the engine that it locked up again. So I let the buggy sit and I stepped away for a little. Came back in about 30min, and I saw the fuel line was full. I think i over heated the engine the first time causing the fuel to boil, because this time I had no issues priming. Just struggled with the compression again. But eventually got the engine started and ran a whole tank. Only had time for one tank this evening, but some progress was refreshing!

Werks, Any ETA on when glow plugs will be available? They are out of stock everywhere I have seen. Will OS plugs or any other brand work?
the B3pro2 came with a os p3 plug. Werks said it would be easier to break in engine then with Werks 5 plug. So get yourself some os p3 plugs. Check b3pro2 page for that info if you wanna read it yourself.
