Status: offline 		My car was setting up for a few weeks and I decided to run it some this week. The engine would turn over but only hit twice and started to run for about 2 secs. After that I started checking and replaced the glow starter mine was dead. Glow pugs are fine. Problem is the engine just keeps turning over and over never really hits anymore.

Airplane engines I can normally get to run fine. Nitro car engines I have always had trouble with.


Any suggestions on where to start on getting this engine running again?

As soon as the thunderstorms pass I will try again. I am thinking the engine is fine, just this heat as messed up my fuel.
