    Nitro engine priming and starting difficulties (needs help)

    Thank you all for the help! Today i successfully started the engine. I'm very happy with it, still need to fine tune the needles, excess fuel comes out form the exhaust pipe. Thank you once again!

    Nitro engine priming and starting difficulties (needs help)

    Thanks for the suggestion and for sharing your experiences with me. I will order those parts as soon as i can, until then i would like to try to start it at least. It gives no sign of life. I successfully glued the glow plug to its place with a two component epoxy, it seems perfect. When i try...

    Nitro engine priming and starting difficulties (needs help)

    Thanks for the suggestion. I sealed the connection between the engine and exhaust pipe, now the engine primes easily, but... I was changing the glow plugs, and the thread on the block got wiped out. So now there is no thread, and the glow plug sits there (i had tighten it as much as i could) but...

    Nitro engine priming and starting difficulties (needs help)

    Thanks for the suggestion. I can blow air in the pipe through the pressure line (its a little hard). If i block the outlet of the pipe i can feel the air escaping through the cracked seal. Probably thats the reason it doesn't work at all, right?

    Nitro engine priming and starting difficulties (needs help)

    Nitro engine priming and starting difficulties (needs help)

    I let the glow plug on for a few minutes (4-5min) It only uses a rechargeable 1,2-1,3v battery. With a multimeter i measured 1,45amperes. Is that a problem?

    Nitro engine priming and starting difficulties (needs help)

    Hello! Recently i had bought a nitro rc car (hpi savage 25) from a friend. He wasn't using it for a long time (1year) and he lost the transmitter. Thankfully i had one laying around. I've tested the servos, they are working, but... I can't start the engine no matter what i do. First i simply...
