Default RE: Engine Mounting

im reading over the manual PDF as i type...well not exactly as i type...but im switching off...lol.


ok im the part where you fill your tank with fuel for the first time...i have one of those sqeezer kind of pumps where you sqeeze a rubber thing and it sucks up the fuel, and then you attach it to the tank tube and it fills it by you sqeezing it from the pumper thing to the tank.

well its not exactly that easy i found out....its sort of just coming out the top tube and going into the muffler nipple...im about 99.9% sure it isnt full and jsut overflowing.....anyways....i just left whatever i had successfully pumped in there in the tank, and then poured out the fuel that was in the muffler (it poured right out the tube coming off of it) i then went on to the next direction just out of curiosity....

i twisted the prop (primed) while covering the carb with my finger and fuel went to the carb...im assuming this is correct....anyways...the glow plug batt....i need to get one i suppose according to the directions....(thanks for telling me hobbytown experts...). Where can i get the right batt and glowplug heater for this engine? do i need it for sure?

any tips on getting this thing running would be great. thanks.
