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



if you read what he posted its odvious he did not break in his engine..."after 1-2 break in runs" takes more then 1-2 break in runs to properly break in an engine...the thing that made it odvious he didnt break it in is "I never got a full tank run out of it"..
ok first off I'm not trying to be a smart*****...hell I smoked my first nitro engine, it happens...so give us some info on exactly what you did from the time you took it outta the box for the first time so we can help ya out....I cant guarantee it but I'm pretty sure you prolly smoked it...just wanna help ya not do it again
