Default RE: formula fastech nitro

hey guys,just a little update on what has transpired so far in the past couple days.yesterday i completely removed the flexcable and re installed it ,as i had the problem of the cable spinning inside the collet when the collet was tight.i dont know what caused it but it seems tight now.i still have the problem of the freewheeling flywheel,as i cant seem to find out what the cause of why it isnt tight against the motor,the only alternative is to take the engine out and try to remove the flywheel that way.so last night i thought it would be a good night to try the boat out,as lake ontario was like glass,which doesnt happen too much.i get down there with my better half,try to start it,wont start.tied for an hour,nothing.replaced glow plugs,set the carb back to factory settings,nuttin! i then noticed fuel leaking out of the bottom of the tank,so im thinking its either a leak in the tank or the line,effecting the pressure in the tank.i still thought it should fire irregardless,and tried to the point where i killed the batteries in my tiger drive starter.i packed it up,and brought it home,and when i got the boat out of the trunk,i found that the tank of fuel leaked inside the hull.i checked the cap,it was tight,and i spent an hour cleaning the spilled nitro out of the hull.this morning i took out the tank,removed the fuel lines and checked them both,where i found no cracks or holes.so, im gonna try and ziptie the bottom fuel line to the tank nipple to seal it better (it fit tight anyways) to see if this will cure the problem.anyone else have any other tips? thx
