Today i did get it to start and idle for about 30seconds befoer dying and not re-starting, what could be the cause of this? air in the lines? im about ready to give up and sell and go electric, but i have never had a nitro running at 100% before and im hoping that the end result will be worth me sticking with it the whole time. i can use the Radio and give the truck a slight bit of gas and it will idle up as normal but then procedes to die. any help with this problem?
sounds like you are running way to rich, that will cause the oneway to slip, clean everything off and put it back together, turn your high speed needle in 1 full turn from where you have it now, getting way to much fuel by the sounds of it, you dont want fuel spitting out of exaust, just smoke, go back to factory settings and go from there, just dont give up!!!!! when you get it running right it will be a pleasure to run, and knowing that you made it run will give you even more satisfaction!! anybody can plug a battery in and go.....lol, dont take the easy way out. nitro takes patients and the end result is always worth it!!!! we will do are best to get through this! just take your time, after all it is a hobby!
