Hi!
I bought a Sandmaster MK-II a few years ago. It was very fun racing with it, but suddenly I made a very bad jump, and the receiver (I have found out that now) went broke. That time, I didn't care to investigate what was wrong with it. This summer, I thought that I should fix the car, so I've measured with a volt-meter and I know that I just need to buy a new receiver. Anyway, that's not the problem, so don't ask me why I mentioned it here. I tried to start the engine (and it hasn't been running for maybe 2 years), and I got it to start. I was very thrilled, cause I didn't believe it would start. BUT, when I tried to start it the day after, it just wouldn't start. The thing you pull in (I don't know what it's called in english) to get it start, was much harder to pull, and it didnt come any sounds indicating it would start. I've checked the glowstift (if that what it's called?), and I've tried to do as they say in the manual (remove the glowstift, pump some fuel into it, and drag the motor around until some fuel pops out from the engine, and then put in the glowstift again). Nothing works. I can't understand what this is, becauase there were no problems starting it the day before!

Is your throttle opened a little? They will not do anything with the throttle closed.

Enjoy,

Jim

Yes, it is opened a little, I've also tried adjusting the throttle as I tried starting the engine.. But it doesn't work.
