i recently purchased a slightly used fg monster truck on ebay....it ran great for the first few hours i ran it,but now it will not start at all...it is getting spark and gas and i cleaned the air filter,but no matter what i do it will not start...being new to the world of r/c trucks,any information that anyone can give me would be much appreciated.

try using the choke on the carb, or seeing if the choke some how became closed. those are the two things i'd check.

I had the same problem on my fg st. I changed the plug yours maybe ok mine probaly was I think i flooded the thing. Try starting it with the choke in the vertical direction keep pulling without giving it gas. Then when it tries to start but then dies turn the choke in the horizontal direction then give a little gas then pull the cord and it should go vmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

After you pull the Plug turn the truck up side down & Pull the starter rope a fue times, then set it on the tire's & let it set a while to dry out, then install a new plug set it at .025, Start off with the stock MIXTURE SETTINGS: Zenoah G230RC/260RC H 1.1/2 turns L 1.1/4 turns. Make sure the idle screw is screwed in a bit & then Prime the Primer Bulb until it fills with fuel. Put the choke lever (Black lever beside the Primer Bulb) in the straight down position. Pull the starter until it fires or hit's or try's to start what ever you want to call it(Usually 1 -2 pulls). Put the choke back into the horizontal position (Run Position). Pull 1 to 4 more times until running! If that doesn't get it running, It might be the timing[:@] Hope Not. Good Luck, PS: You also might have to take off the primer bulb 4 small screws & clean the diafram with fresh Fuel & look it over for small holes or tear's. Good Luck!,[sm=thumbup.gif]

Do you have good compression? if not, take off the carb and the exhaust and check for signs of damage.
