AIRSAVAGE

Hello all,
I'm trying to start my FG Bigfoot for the first time and need some advice. This might be a stuipid question but I think it's part of my problem. I can't tell when the choke is on or off. Should the switch be up or down? Any other advice would be appreciated!
Thanks
Jeff

Lever down = choke closed
Lever up = choke open

Personally, i never use the choke. I used it a few times when i first got the car but noticed that it will start without the choke so i never use it. Then again i dont run in the winter either.

Are you having trouble starting it?

BTW here is the starting procedure according to the zenoah owners manual.

Dont use the choke put your finger over the carb pull the handle a couple till you hear a pop, then take your finger off the carb and pull it again, it should start.......... ohhhhhhhhhh ya thats my rc boat

Thanks yall. I finally got it started yesterday. I don't think I was priming it enough. It ran great. Then, today I was trying to start it for the 3rd tank and something happened in the pull start. Lilke something came loose, because it's not turning the motor. The string spring still works...pulls it back in. I'm hoping it's something simple, I have yet to open it up and look.

Sometimes dust and dirt gets in them and they won't work....take it apart clean it up it'll be fine...or else like hellya said that plastic piece stripped out on ya.....entire new pull starter assemblies are like $15 at dave's

Looks like it will fit on the 23cc CY engine on the Firehammer. Is that correct?

I"m back in buisness! you were right with that little white part. It wasn't broken, just out of place.
Thanks

That little plastic part is usually one of the first things to break, along with the plastic pinion and spur

get the metal rachet gear for the pull start like hellya has already mentioned. You don't want it to break on field your playing for a little piece you can't get right away.
