Persian Empire

MAN, I have recently bought a Thunder Tiger EB4 S3 Nitro 1/8 scale nitro buggy from some dude. The car looks in perfect condition with the engine looking brand new with no scratches. Every time I place the glow plug inside, and then pull the string thing on the engine, it starts but when I throttle, like even slowly, it will shut off. The car had been sitting untouched and had not been used after 2 months. The owner seemed like a honest man, and the car even came with the original papers and box and spares. Can anyone tell me how I can fix this problem? Or does the glow plug need to be charged? Thanks. I have attached photos of the car.

hi persian empire , go to the rc nitro engines forum on this site it will tell you how adjust your settings on the nitro engine , fuels glow plug also get a new glow plug for it also , be careful the pull start stings or recoil band tend to wear out and break , you can always go to a jump starter box ok mugey see nitro engine and FAQ guide ok

There are so many things it could be. Needle valve setting, idle mixture setting, vacuum leak, fuel pressure leak, funky plug, funky fuel, etc. I can only recommend seeking the help of an experienced co-conspirator. Good luck.
