Default RE: Got a hawk for $35.00

tominator have you had any luck starting it yet? if not have you checked the glow plug? as you might know from the nitro trucks the plugs can burn out very easily when the mixture is way off. also i would try cleaning out the carburetor. it could have accumulated something that is clogging the fuel intake from sitting for how ever long it sat. one more thing to check is the fuel line it can dry out and get small cracks and or holes from sitting for a while. (dont forget the piece of fuel line that is inside the tank connected to the clunk.) one more thing..are you using the fuel recommended for the engine nitro and oil content? if not the heli motors can be very finicky to tune...A friend who has a jr venture that came with a webera motor that is supposed to run on 0% nitro is running it on 15% because there is no 0% available in the area had to run about a gallon and a half through it before the tuning was close enough to fly.
