Default More Problems

I cleaned out my engine today as Traxxas says. (WD-40) I replaced everything and wanted to start her up earlier. I did and there was quite a bit of blue smoke pouring out of the engine, like where the glow plug is located. Also, the whole engine is wet and it seems like it's shooting gas. (From the glow-plug area)

What happened?

Also...I don't know if the engine you're talking about has a regular or a turbo plug, but if it takes a regular plug, make sure the copper washer is on the plug.

That sounds like the glow plug is loose. That, or the washer needs to be replaced.
