Losi 8ight t fuel won't enter move into line
Hey guys. I got that brake cam fixed. It was a pretty easy part to change out. I put fuel into the tank. And then tried using the spin-start for the back of the engine. The fuel does not move in the line. What could be the problem?

I pulled out the line that feeds into the tank through the top fuel port. Noticed there is a gold like filter on the tube which enters the tank. Do I need to have that? Could that be blocking it?

I feel like a dumb A**. Wasn't blocking the exhaust tip! Thanks Drew!!! Your the man. I am as green as fifty dollar bill in Nitro r/c cars.

You have t prime the engine. T do that do as Andrew said and block the exhaust while spinning the engine over. Stop just as the fuel reaches the carb. DO NOT pump a lot of fuelinto the carb. Another way to prime it is to take the pressure line off of the exhaust nd blow into it lightly until fuel reaches the carb then reattach the line. But the easiest way is to block the exhaust.
Is this your first nitro vehicle?
