RE: volcano sv wont start
These engines will idle faster than your regular four stroke engine. did you set the high and low idle screws to factory settings?

gently screw in your high speed needle all the way in (dont tighten it) then screw it back out 2 1/2 turn....make sure your low speed needle is flush with the collar (or 3 turns from all in)....turn your radio and reciever on and position your trim to about half....then adjust the idle screw so you have a 1mm opening looking in the throat of the carb....then hit the brakes to make sure your 1mm setting does not move....
sometimes (have had it happen to me a few times) engines are not set from the factory....anytime you get a rtr you need to check your needles, idle and so on....cause chances are you will have to adjust something....its also good to make sure your linkages move freely without binding.....this usually needs attention on new rtr...
