Duratrax NQ starting problem...HELP
Hi. I have a Duratrax Nitro Quake and am running it with the stock engine. Today, it wouldn't start, even though I felt a good amount of compression in it. What's wrong. The engine has three different needles to tune so it's confusing to me. HELP, please.

I have tried both ways before. I'll try them again. You can tell I'm a newbie at nitro; I'm more experienced with electric. Just to help out more, it is a .21 engine (pullstart) w/ a slide valve carb; high-speed, low-speed, and idle needle. Using stock pipe and 20% O'Donnell.

You can try these: replace your glow plug, you may have flooded the engine, take your glow plug off and drain the engine. Prime your engine!

I have tried it with a new glow plug today and adjusted the idle needle some. It seems ok. Cross my fingers when I test it this evening.
