engine problems
hey, i started my xxx-nt with a os .12tr the other day and it ran good i burnt about a tank and then it died, i figured i ran out of gas so i filled it up, and went to start it and nothing, couldnt get nothing out of it... i tryed a new glowplug, nothing, set the mixtures back to factory and still nothing, checked my idle setting, it was fine, and it IS getting fuel... the only thing i can think of is lack of compression, but it still has quite a bit... i tryed for over an hour to start it.... any help pleaaase

RE: engine problems
Check some of the simple stuff first, like the charge on the glow ignitor, and the batteries on the bump start. Sometimes the engine sounds like its turning over fast enough, but it still won't start. New batteries in the starter box and bam, there she goes.

RE: engine problems
Make sure that your clutch shoes arent melted to the clutch bell. Also make sure that the collet isnt worn (the flywheel would spin without actually turning the engine over).

Thats what it sounds like, your stick isnt getting the plug warm. As long as the engine isnt hot it should start unless the box is so slow its turning the engine like, pop...pop...pop..pop instead of popopopop.

RE: engine problems
I was taught a good way to check compression or better yet the ability to make compression.
Remove glow plug and turn engine over with finger turning the fly wheel counter clockwise. Look at top of piston and when it is at top of stroke there should be a fairly tight feeling/fit. This will tell you how well worn the piston and sleeve are. Some engines will continue even when way worn but only one I new of was an RB WS7 ( he claimed 11+ gallons on same p/s).
