I am totally stumped here gang. I have a .12 TORQ engine in an older Duratrax Maximum ST that just will not start. I have gone through all the online troubleshooting guides (fuel line, glow plug, starter, high speed and low speed though the later is hard to calibrate when you cannot start, piston wear test etc.) and still cannot get this engine to start. I have a .28 on a MGT 4.6 that starts first pull...with the same glow plug and fuel. This engine used to start though has always been difficult to tune. It sat for 2 year but there does not seem to be any corrosion, rust or wear. I am wondering if this is an air leak, but I can tell you it seems to get good compression that holds.

Any advice from the vets here?

Thanks,
Matthew
