Problem with OS .18 Help
 

I tried about an hour today to start my engine without success. It would start but would die in about 4-7 seconds on its own. Also it would die if I tried to increase the throttle by hand. It only has about 6 tanks of nitro through it and the last time it ran it was the same temperature and it ran perfectly. I did install a fuel filter also I changed the fuel line and the line from the exhaust to the fuel cell before trying today. Nitro is good I know because it's only about a week and a half old. I'm going to try a new glow plug and a new battery in my glow starter tonight. I tried to push the glow plug into my starter to see if it glowed but nothing happened. Same results when I tried it on a few other brand new glow plugs. Does it have to be dark to see it glowing? I'm very frustrated. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

try re-charging your glow warmer

I have a c battery operated one and I did try to change the battery and the glow plug. Same problem. It's the Nitro Evader BX. Anyone else have this engine and maybe you can tell me your base needle setting to make sure they are correct.

Well after a lot more frustration tonight I do think it was my glow plug ignitor. I went through two or three batteries and only one made it glow at all and even that one was hit and miss. I guess I need to get a good one. Any recommendations? Although like I said it did start a few times then immediately die so I don't think that it is all the glow plug.
