Status: offline 		Hi guys, my name is Jesse. I bought a Yokomo GT4 about 2 years ago (guess?). I drove it for about 6-8 months. After that it sat in storage (no place to drive it). Now that i can drive it i tried to start it up. It had brand new gas and a fully charged glow start. After fooling around with it a bit it wouldn't start. So i checked the gas lines. It wasn't pumping gas to the motor. So i held my finger on the exhaust tip and cranked the motor. It started but quickly stalled. And that was the only way i could get the motor to start. So basically what I'm saying is the motor is not pumping gas to it. Is there anyway i could fix that? Bad lines, Bad compression?

Any help would be very much appreciated. If you need any more information i left out then feel free to ask.

Thanks.

Richen it up for now but if it keeps dieng out on you its time to get a new engine. Also check your fuel tank, and make sure there no clogging anywhere. Change your glow plug, you've had that engine for like a year, you'd wonder why it won't start lol

Status: offline 		Thank you D-Nicest, The engine will start and fire up but quickly die after that. Because Fuel is not getting to the motor. Will the things you just suggested help it?
I have 2 extra Glow plugs that haven't been used, but have been sitting around, will those be fine?

Thanks again.
