RE: Having trouble starting a brand new 18SS motor
i checked the ignitor and it heats the plug well. i set the motor to factory settings, and took it outside to start break-in. first 2 pulls, it started, but died, even with the throttle opened a bit. the 3rd pull, the motor seemed to have flooded up. i pulled the plug, and pulled the starter to clean out the compression chamber of the excess fuel. the next couple attempts got me nothing, and flooded up again, without the throttle being open. again, i relieved the pressure, and tried again, with a little throttle. again, nothing and it flooded up again.
what is going on here? i've never experienced anything like this with past nitro cars and it is really starting to bug me to the point where i want to throw the car against a wall. i cant understand why the motor floods so easily. when the plug is out and i pull the starter cord, it spits fuel like a fountain, another thing i havent seen happen in my other cars.
