The air will come into the fuel lines while the truck sits unused and this is normal
you should prime the fuel upto the carb just before trying to start the engine which should help it start easier,
do this by removing the fuel line at the exhaust end and slowly blow into it until you see fuel going upto the carb,
some people carry a spare clean piece of fuel tubing with them for this purpose
dont continue to blow into the fuel line after fuel reaches the carb as this will flood the engine,
Some really small air bubbles do form naturally with vibration etc,
but if there is alot of air in the fuel line while the truck is running this maybe why it does not continue to run,
at this point you should replace the fuel lines.
DO NOT PUT A FUEL LINE IN YOUR MOUTH , FUEL IS POISON. To prime cover exhaust outlet with your thumb and pull start cord several times , you should see fuel flow to the carb. This will also test the seal on your fuel tank lid.
Please try reading the entire post before shouting with CAPSLOCK,
I MENTIONED USING A SEPERATE CLEAN FUEL LINE FOR THIS PURPOSE,
Putting a fuelline in your mouth to prime the engine is the easiest way to prime the engine,
also i asked the o/p to blow into the fuelline and NOT DRINK the stuff,
i`ve been priming nitro engines this way for years,
other than trying to push your spares onto hawkycoach i see no other reason for your post.
Spares ?
Priming with thumb method is the safest way and also test your fuel system sealing, engine comp and exhaust leaks.
'i`ve been priming nitro engines this way for years' still does not make it right.
If we told all our customers to blow into fuel lines we would sooner or later have a lawsuit on our hands.
