RE: Vulcan 1/8 racing car problem
try an 1/8 scale thread, you will get more responses. Anyway do you have your needles tuned right. check the high speed and low speed needles because if its completly tightened your not gonna get any fuel to the engine because the fuel has to pass through the carb first. If its starting when you put it in the carb its going to go straight to the engine which defeats the purpose of a carburetor.

I dont have a engine at the moment but i can find a video someone else has done. [link=http://www.youtube.com/user/Squirrelod]Squirrl[/link]; He will explain everything you need to know. He has like 4 or 5 vids in order for nitro newbies. Take a look.
