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 tried starting the engine (following tutorials) even with 2 types of fuel (20% and 25%nitro) with the stock glow plug (R5). Then after some tries the glow plug burned out. A month later i got new glow plugs (os no6 and no8) but still can't start the engine. The major problem is that the motor won't prime if i put my finger on the exhaust outlet and rotate the engine (with rotostart). If i increase the throttle i can see the fuel jumping in the fuel line but not high enough to prime the engine. I tried adjusting the needles. The only way i can get the fuel in the engine is lifting the fuel tank above the engine or blowing air in the fuel-exhaust line with my mouth. I'm out of ideas what should i do. I'm new to nitro motors. Any help is very appreciated.
