Well I was racing around my street and start to drift in some dirt. I thought it was fun so I keep doing it. Then when 1/4 of gas was left it cut off. So I filled the tank back up, cleand it all up, let it cool of. So when it was cooled I went outside to run it again but it wont start.. Then I cleaned more of the engine area. But still wont start what should I do. Should I bring it to my LHS.


Please Help Me.

Ya, do that before you mess it up permanantly- no offence

Mattdg67

Alright Thanks

Seek and Destroy

TRy priming it, make sure all of the fuel lines are connected, and connected to the right spots. MAke sure fuel is going to the carb. Make sure your glow ignitor bats are charged. Make sure you didn't leave the lid off of the fuel bottle or off of the fuel container thing for very long, that'll ruin the fuel. MAke sure the pull start is still working. Try giving it a little gas when you when you try and start it. Try warming up the engine some with a hair dryer. And make sure that you try and start it in a warm enviorment like your house. My parents don't like it, but if you start it right next to the door and the door is open and the pipe is pointing out the door, you should be fine. Engines have a hard time starting cold. And also make sure it isrunning between 220- 260 or so degrees. I would try to richen it just a little bit too.

Thanks Man. I'll let you know if it works.

how hot was it? still got compression left? prolly overheated it. Not hard to do when tryng to drift a nitro.

Mattdg67

Nope Nothing. Even changed the spark plug. It wasent over heated because I felt it, it felt like 150 degrees.

pre98zetec

spark plug eh? glow plug.... how long have you been around nitro?


and when you said nope nothing did you mean it has no compression? if so... thats why it wont start. new piston/sleeve time.

[8D]hi . so you tryed primming it and took out the glow plug and it glowed ? did you see any air in the fuel line ? replace the fuel line and glow plug and wen the glow plug is out see if you can see any nitro on the piston . check the carburator make sure it,s tite and check and see if it has any dirt in it . see if it,s getting enough throtle to start the engine . just lmk if it do,s not start . thank,s .

Mattdg67

Spark Plug , Glow Plug same thing. Yes it has compression, The carb is tight. There is fuel on the piston. I see no dirt in the engine. The Glow Plug works but I changed it just incase. I see little air bubbles in the fuel line but I ran it like that befor.

pre98zetec

spark plug and glo plug are not the same thing

If theres air bubbles pull the line off, check for pin hole leaks. If there are none, try to turn the throttle trim up a tad and see if it will fire. it's worth a try.

what motor/car are we talking about here?

Mattdg67

The Chaos. There are no holes. Plus if it had holes the fuel would come out. I did turn the throtle trim up. Spark Plugs and Glow Plugs do the same ok.

[8D]hi . if you have exstra fuel line cut some tiny peices off and put them on the fuel line at the connection,s so they will have a verry tight connection . if you still have air in the fuel line replace it that will stop it from starting . do you have a loope on the fuel line that go,s to the pipe ? if not make one so it will stay primed . try that and lmk if it start,s . thank,s .

found your problem.

I had a IRC vulcan for quite some time, same motor.. same situation you're in. It wouldn't start only if it wanted to. Are you using 30% nitro or 20%, i heard they run alot better on 30%.

pin holes in the line doesn't mean that nitro would leak. I've had this done plenty of time, hell once mine had a big gash in it and it still didn't leak.

The only way I could ever get my irc to stay running for a short time was bring it back to a base tune and retune it.

Mattdg67

I use 30% but I checked for holes. None.

pre98zetec

try bringing it back to a base tune (ibeleive thats 3 1/2 turns out on HSN and 2 turns out on LSN) and see if it will fire.

I have also heard of removing the primer line and plugging it and it will idle and start alot easier. I can't confirm it as I've never tried it but its worth a try.

Mattdg67

I never move the High Speed Needle its at the same place as I got it.

pre98zetec

lean it a little., just untill it will start.

Seek and Destroy

Will the engine even spin?

Mattdg67

Well I went to the LHS and they said it will nver start again.. Well I need a new engine now. Can you guys sugest an engine that will fit the Chaos.

pre98zetec

If it's got compression it will run. IF it wont start its a tuning problem/airleak. Don't beleive the LHS owner, he wants more $$$ outta you.

Mattdg67

No he dont have the Enigine anyways. I have to order it myself. Plus I saw him take it apart and put it back to gether then try to start it. Its a piece of **** engine.

Racing T

so what he told you that was wrong?

TheArsonist21

I wish your mom would let me help you out, I know a good bit about nitro, I could help get that thing running... []
