i got this super nitro rs4 from my cousin and i cant get it to start

i put fuel in it and charged the glow plug, and i only got it to start only once.

the car itself is alittile dirty, do i need to clean the motor out or anything

i really want to play with this so i need help ASAP!!

Is the battery in the glow plug igniter ok?
Do you prime it?
What needle settings do you have?

i just got this and i dont know what yor talking about, but the battery in the glow plug is fine thats all i know

First of all put fuel in the tank. Then prime some times till it reaches the carburator through the fuel line.Check if your battery igniter has enough power to mae the glow plug glow red hot! Then put the battery igniter on the glow plug and pullstart several times (Don't pull it much, 20-25cm each time is fine). It would be wise to give some throtle in order to start easier.If it stil doesn't start then clean the engine install a new glow plug and try again.

And don't forget when you are going to start the engine via the pullstart, do short QUICK pulls. That "quick: is the secret, is not a gas engine that wants slow pulls.

Oh, and since you are new to this, i will ask something but don't misunderstand me, ok? You put nitro fuel, right?

A good way to prime is have the carb open and either put a finger over the carb opening and pull the cord a couple of times, or block the exhaust hole and pull the cord

I prefer the second way but I usually disconnect the silicon tube from the pipe and blow air in it till the fuel reaches the carb. Then I tap the exhaust and pullstart 2-3 times.

That's what i do too. I am using a starter box and if i am going to prime the engine using the starter box, then i waste battery. Blow through the fuel tube to the tank is good, but of course don't overdo it, ok?

reset your carb to factory settings...it may run really rich, but atleast it will start...provided everything else is the way it should be...

does the engine still have good compression?
no leaks?
head shim?
no clogged needle valves?


pull the glow plug and check your igniter and plug while its not on the engine...its should get hot within 1 to 2 seconds, and should be very bright..
