Default RE: Fedup off SH.18 Engine


ORIGINAL: sr88

I got a MTR3 truggy with a SH .18 engine. I got just one run out of it and after many many attempts to get it to working again I decided to replace the engine.

I replaced it with a new SH .18 and initially it started off pretty ok. After the break in of 1-2 runs. it started to die out just about anytime. I never got a tank full run out of it. Now the engine has totally quit even starting. Peculiar thing is if try to start it after 1-2 days it starts and runs for 5-10 seconds and then does out. it will not start again.

I have ofcourse replaced the plug,cleaned the carb blown air thru the holes but to no avail. I would appreciate anyone able to get this thing running and running reliably for me

Thanks
SR

eddie and rod imma have to disagree bros sorry..... From what i gather from the post he not doing a full or proper break in .... he said after "the break in of 1-2 runs it started to die out" then sayes after 1-2 days itll start fine then runs 5-10 secs
sound to me it might be that hes over heated the piston and sleeve and lost his pinch... thats what happend with mine anyway

now sr i love my sh 18 i have one in my taipan and 1 in my viper
