Default starting problems

my t-maxx 3.3 had starting probs today the first time i tried it started right up the engine was cold so it stauled when i gave it throttle ofcouse then i started it again and didnt start it didnt even sound the same when i tried again it sounded like it was skipping too it was wired and i thought it could be a baffel in the exhaust that was blown i called my friend matt put him on speaker so he can hear what the prob might be he told me it might be a baffel i told him think it was too i replaced the glowplug incase it wasent firing because of that but it still didnt sound the sane since it sounded like it was skipping the i thought it was the forward only gear/barren was stripped then my friend told me to heat up the engine with a hairdryer so it would start easier i took it outside and cranked it over it started right up i didnt know how the hell it did that why did it strt up after heating up the engine with a hair dryer when it started earlier

Default RE: starting problems

The engine head might have been warmer the first time you started it. If its cold you will wear away the pinch too quickly and your engine will be junk. Always heat it up prior to first running it in a day for longevity.
