The DuraTrax engine may be made by O.S., but it's a sport engine and would have less power than the O.S., which is a racing engine. The DuraTrax engine has more mild tuning to allow easy starting and throttlling.

If an engine wont' start, but has good compression, good fuel, and a good glow plug, then it's either over or under primed. It's all in the technique. The starting procedure is too long to list here. You can check the FAQs on the DuraTrax web page or send an email to us and we'll send the starting procedure.
