Default RE: problem starting caldera

well I spoke to Redcat support earlier and they told me the same thing you just said to try a hair dryer and when I did that it worked it was easy to pull. The only thing is that I could never get it to start, I spent about 2 hours, got new cuts on my hand. The closest I got it to start was for about 2 seconds and then it shut off i think I got it to that point just a couple times. I took the hose off and blew air into it and made sure there was fuel going through but, still nothing worked. <div>
</div><div>In the instructions it says for break-in the default setting for the HSN is 4 1/2 out, so I turned it all the way in, and then went 4 1/2 out. The LSN I read in another thread to do 3 out. Since I think I messed up my settings last week when I was having difficult I was messing with the needles and I think I probably have messed up the settings that's the reason it's not starting. also I know you're not supposed to adjust the settings when the engine is cold but, that's what I've been doing, have done something worst to it by doing this? </div><div>
</div><div>Before I left I put a couple drops of fuel in the engine and carb and then it quickly started for 2 seconds then shut off, then the starter got really hard and I tried to heat it up but, it wouldn't work so I'm pretty sure I flooded it by putting the drops of fuel in as I accidently put in more than a few drops.</div><div>
</div><div>Any suggestions on how to get this to start? Or any recommendations on what to change the needles to? I know on the previous shockwave I couldn't get it to start if the HSN was too lean, more than 2.5 and it would never start I could spend 30 min or more and not start but, as soon as I richen HSN it would start. On this caldera it's already really rich so I don't know what else to do, maybe it's the LSN that's messed up? Normally they say if LSN is too lean it will shut off right after it starts right? So I mean it's 3 out, as somebody suggested but, I tried to turn it out a couple turns but, it's still not starting. I think this is too much out but, I don't know what else to do. I'm not exaggerating I was there for 2 hours trying this.</div><div>
