RE: i cant get my firestorm to start HELP
ok well i finally got it to run for like a minuite, but it still died im trying to get this thing dialed in, but now it has some massive flooding problem, i guess i will lean it out some, it would help if the freekin duratrash temp gun i bought would actually work, it measures the motor at like 450 degrese and my hand at like 250

Well, first of all, I would try setting the needles back to the factory settings. Then, I would throw your temp gun in the trash [X(]. Clear the carb and check your glow plug to be sure its not fouled out and its working properly. Most importantly, remember its all part of the hobby!

RE: i cant get my firestorm to start HELP
the DTX temp gun is awesome, u gotto set it properly, u can just get it out of the box and use it. It works great for me, i only use it for when heat cycling my engines, and i put it against a 200 dollar heat gun for industrial use and it was only on average 4 faren away from the 200 dollar one. U are obviously runnin to rich, factories usually set it rich as all hell, do the heat cycle break in and ignore the factory break in and u will be greatly rewarded
