help a noob start his new truck?
So between me and a few friends the manual, the interent and a day and a half I cannot start this thing for the life of me. It is a tiny .050 and I have only managed to here it rev up for a half secind 1 time. Things I have checked.
1. The fuel is making it to the carb even though when I place my finger over the muffler it doesnt seem to prime but if i place my finger over the carb it does.
2. I have charged my ignitor and when i attach the gp to it it glows farily bright.
my fuel is ne and from sealed container.
3. It is at the factory recomended 2.5 turns out from screwed all the way in
4. I have tried pouring a few drops down the carb and down the head.
Anyone have any tips???

RE: help a noob start his new truck?
It takes a few tries. But you have to put you finger over the pipe. when you see the fuel go in take your finger off. Plug the Igniter to the Plug. Try to start it. If it dosent start put the car on a platform with the wheels off the ground. Then have a friend hold the throttle about 1/4. Or just turn the throttle trim up a little. Then try to start it.
