ok guys i just tried starting my car after not running it for about a year or something like that and ive always ran after run through it but now it wont start. well it only starts if i dribble a little gas in the carb but then it only runs till that gas is burned up what could be the problem here?

replace the fuel lines on it and see if that does it if not richen up the bottom end a little bit

yea i thought that the idle on the bottom end could have been outta wack adjusted that and played around with that also tried adjusting my high end needle and nothing. i think it could very well be the fuel lines because when i go to prime the engine my cranking the motor with my finger over the exhaust no fuel is sucking through the lines. would bad lines cause this or do you think is could be my carb,pison,sleeve,etc..... i cant really spend alot to get it fixed right now so im hoping that its no more than a $50 fix

try fuel lines first

Replace the fuel lines, completely disassemble the carburetor, clean it out with denatured alcohol. Reassemble it carefully, return needles to factory settings, and try again. Make sure you do not have an airleak where the carb attaches to the crankcase.

dont forget about checking the backplate gasket either

backplate gasket?

losixxx-nt

where the pull starter attaches there is a plate that is the backplate

lol oh yea i knew that brain wasnt functioning but yea i replaced the backplate gasket i also cleaned the carb with alcohol and replaced the fuel lines, now it is sucking fuel i actually got it to start for short little instances on its own without force feeding it fuel but it started spitting a good bit of raw fuel out the exhaust....idle was fine and ive been playing around with my high end its around 2- 2 1/4 turns out right now. also where should my low end needle be at when its wot and when its closed? dont really know how to tune that needle in properly so that might be why its spitting raw fuel out at idle or it could have been blwoing out fuel from when i primed it too much and flooded it. i also think that my glow plug isnt getting hot enough because some times you can hear it cranking and firing but not starting and other times it will just crank like its getting no spark. so it may be a faulty glow plug or a dead battery im going to try a fresh glow plug and battery tomm and see how that works out

any other suggestions besides glow plug,plug heater battery, low end needle?
any comments would be appreciated. i really want to get my lil rc10 running again
