Well here is what I am doing to get my car started........I am sure I will catch some hell...but remember I know nothing about this hobby and I am learning as I go. I am first putting gas in the tank, then a couple of drops in the carb, install the glow ignitor and let sit for a couple of seconds and then I begin my process of pull the cord! So tell me what I am doing wrong. Now I assummed since this car was RTR then the needle would be somewhat adjusted, I thought that once it was started I might have to fine tune, but for the most part in would be tuned. I have read where people say if your glow plug isn't glowing then it isn't working good. Is that literal? You should see your plug red/orange?
