Default Help Me tune my Engine .12Rss

I have an RS4 3 Type SS with the .12rss motor.
I had it since last year but really never ran it.
I broke it in like HPI said. Now that winter is almost at an end
I wanted to get it running again. When I try to start it, it seems like
there's no gas going into it. I burns all the gas that I prime it with then it quits on me.
When I push the the fuel pump, It would burn some more gas. The pressure line looks
like its working.......I can feel air coming thru it, But no gas into the motor.

Please help......is there a way I can open the air in my carburator or something to get
the pressure going......

Thanks..........

its maybe that your car is getting to much fuel (being rich) or too little (being lean) or your glow plug is'nt the right kind.

Use factory suggested needle settings for now. Let the car get acquainted to the usage. You did not drive engine much during storage. After everything settles, then adjust the needle(s).
