Default Starting Problems...

I'm trying to help a friend of mine who has a Ofna Pirate MT Sport with a Hyper 21 engine.

We're having a problem getting the motor to start. I set all the needles back to factory settings. If I put a small amount of fuel in the carb. (where you attach the air filter) it will run for a few seconds and then dies out.

Any ideas?

maybe there's a blockage in side the high speed needle that wont let the fuel get into the carb open up the needle and clean it with WD40 and clean the nipple that the fuel line is attached to, or it might be simply the fuel didn't reach the carb.

Are you primming the engine with fuel? If not then put a finger over the exhuast and turn over the engine a few times but don't flood it. you should see fuel move to the carb. Once it reaches the carb give it another half pull then give it a try.

P.S. don't prime it with the glow starter on it! lol
