maybe its a fuel line, could leak under pressure,  you shouldnt leave fuel in your tank if your not going to run it for a while.  2 1/2 out on the high needle and 3 1/2 out on the low needle are good starting point.

dude your fuel line needs replaced...take of the fuel line and blow through it with your finger covering the other end...the reason your leaking fuel from the starter (backplate) is cause it prolly needs sealed...just ur average blue automotive silicone will do the trick...I believe Rich and Adam did a video on how to seal your engine,I would suggest watching it..


and if some reason your fuel line holds pressure reattach it to the tank...then take off the line to the exhaust...blow through one end with your finger over the other...should hold pressure till ur fuel lid pops up</p>

it would start on 1 pull but when u hit the throttle on the tx it just revs up spinning the clutch bell and turning the speed gears. its brand new by the way it not even been ran 2 hours / when it first started acting like this i pulled the gear set apart and cleaned the oil out of the 1 way is started to seem fine but then 5 min later it did the same thing so i pulled it back apart and inside the 1 way the lil roller pins just fell out i guess it was faulty i havent purchased another 1 yet i havent heard any 1 else have problems with theres so i didnt know weather to go with the single speed and do a way with the 1 way or should i give it another shot any suggestions on this here thanks guys Anthony

I'm lost on this.....your one way bearing is acting up cause when you hit the throttle the clutchbell spins which causes the speed gears to spin?....not sure what your calling the speed gears but i assume its the spur gears....when reving up a nitro its spose to spin the clutchbell and spin the spurs.....the clutch is engaged by centrifical force....

the one way bearing is inside the rear of the engine...behind the pull start or roto start start.....if the one way goes bad USUALLY you cannot crank the engine...if the rc wants to take off while you start it or when its started at idle its usually a clutch issue
