Status: offline 		I havent ever heard a nitro engine backfire that i can think of. Does it make the noise while you are cranking or right when you stop cranking?

I have however, had one of my old nitro engines run backwards. It was wild to see a nitro with no reverse start driving in reverse!

That's what I was thinking. I have had engines so tight that the starter was hard to pull.

Status: offline 		The way i meant it was that its compression. pull, pull, pull, large pop of air. this is my first new motor so ive never encountered this before. the pinch between the piston and sleeve is ridiculous. I have to almost stand on the car to be able to pull the starter.

sounds like your flooding it out, take the plug out, turn it over, pull the pullstart and let the excess fuel out and put the plug back in and try again. Also check your needle settings, 2 1/2 out on the high and 4 out on the low. If its cold out, heat the engine with a heat gun or a blow dryer to get it started.
