Hi everyone, I need some help with my engine on the car I review on the last page. I think it has some pretty serious problems, I'm not sure, and I would like some help if anyone is willing. This is my second nitro car, as I mentioned before, and I have never encountered a problem like this:
When I try and start it, it will pop the first time, but then take a good 50 pull to get it started. During these pulls, there is an immense amount of fuel being spat out of the exhaust, and it looks as if it has been part-burnt, as it is gloopy and almost a green colour. Further on during the pulling process, the fuel sometimes changes to smoke, so the fuel is burning, just the engine won't start. When it does eventually get stated, the engine will stall after 2-30 seconds (varies each time, but is not related to whether the glow heater is on or off), so the whole process had to be started again. It also frequently gets flooded, so I have to take off the glow plug and pull it until it is clear.
I try the following to get it started:
Making sure it is primed
Giving it a blip of throttle
Opening the trim so it is getting more air
Checking the glow system
Almost everything else that I have seen on all of these troubleshooting sites
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
