Can you turn the fly wheel with your finger...If you can't than that means that the engine still has pinch and your problem is in the tune or somthing that can be solved. Check your glow plug and needles..we can get you truck running again.

Well then your engine is not shot...it sounds like you have some pinch and this is just a tuning issue..what exactly is the engine doing to make you think that it's shot.

I started on my fourth gallon in my NEMESIS today and have had absolutely no engine problemsI changed the glow-plug and changed my cord on my pull-start to braided masons line[X(]but the NX-76/7.7 is a very reliable and durable engine.I plan to rebuild after the sixth gallon.Not being judgemental,but sounds like a rookie[X(]

My experience with him has been tainted abit. He asked for help on a friday I think and I had life priorities that needed my attention, so I couldn't get to it until monday or so. Well, that weekend, he started a second thread talking about how bad the problem was that I couldn't figure it out. I didn't even get a chance to talk to him about it. I didn't think that was too cool but I still offered to help him. He never replied, so.. I will still help him if he can be nice and professional when asking....

Devo, you need to have patience when it comes to nitro. They take time to break in and tune. You'll figure it out, don't give up.

Thanks poo,

Devo, the offer is always open to you, just remember, we are not paid to do this but we are very happy to help if we can. Just be very patient as TEX said. If someone does not help right away does not mean they can't or wont it just means that they are either busy and will get back to you or are doing your research to find the answer. Everyone here is very willing to help, dont drive them away with attitude...

Dogman you started with me first all i'm doing is trying to fix my truck but you can talk any way you want and i'm suppose to take it thats wrong dogman i dont need your help i didnt ask for dogman to comment. Dogman isnt the only one in rc universe to help with questions and i would like it if DOGMAN would leave me alone. And tex i do have patience i have 12 cars and truck 1/10 scale 1/8 scale and 1/5 scale
so i half know what i'm talking about. But i dont understand how DOGMAN can flame me but he cant take his own meds.

Devo, do I speak the truth?? If you lie I WILL show the threads YOU posted....

BTW you started with me a couple months ago when you flamed me before I even had a chance to talk with you about your tranny...


I will leave you alone if you wish...Are you a body builder??

Dogman,dont let these people get under your skin.Either he wants help with his truck or he doesnt.Sounds to me like he wants to keep a bunch of mess going[X(]If its gonna be that way,let him figure it out on his own while we enjoy our vehicles
