ORIGINAL: Skarr

Okay so i got this Nitro rc car from a friend. I have no idea what kind it is. Or if its good or what. At first he said it needs a line that goes from the tank to the exhaust. I put some gas in the tank, put in the glow plug and tried to start it but when i pull it, it makes a puttering noise. Im assuming its the compression and its just coming out of the exhaust. (The noise). It sounds like it wants to start but it wont. Does the tube absolutely have to be there from the tank to the exhaust in order to start? It has started for me once but instantly died. It started revving really high and then died out and shut off. Anyways, i dont know the kind of car rc car it is. I believe it is spitting fuel out of the exhaust onto the front right tire. Its all shiny and somewhat wet looking. Dont know if that helps. But here is a picture.

the tube is there to force the fuel into the carb, that is why your buddies engine is sputtering out, try intalling it in, that should do the trick
