Hey, I recently dusted off my jato and with a fresh ez start battery, took it outside to test it out. The engine turns over, but I can tell from bubbles in the fuel line, that the fuel isnt moving. I had this same problem several months ago, and thats how its been ever since. What should I do? I'll tell you now that im not very fond of the ez start, but I don't think its the problem.

Both lights on the ez start show up brightly.

Please help, im pissed off that something this expensive won't work =(

holding your finger over the exaust stinger when you start up the easy start. Also there might be a whole in the fuel line so try to replace it.

Tried it, didn't help. Thanks for the input. If there was a hole, wouldn't it move, but leak?

Edit: Is it possible for the glow plug to be bad, but the light still comes on?

Nick2618

not sure never used easy start but try taking the glow plug out and still have the wire hooked up to it and see if it still glows when u turn it over.

Or

reset back to factory settings maybe oyur needles are way off for current running conditions?

Still won't start, im going to take it to local hobby shop and get some assistance, thanks for the help anyway.

you have to clean the carburettor right where the fuel line is connected to the engine... i had the same problem a few months ago

check the zip ties where the header and pipe meet they might be loose. that would cause an air leak.

cool rc cars

might have a loose fuel line or cracked.

clogged inlet/highspeed needle.

remove, dissassemble, clean and re-install. set it back to factory settings and re-tune.

throw it away and buy a new one.

Tank not sealing, leaking fuel line, leaking line from pipe to tank, or the carb is clogged. All could be checked in less time than driving to the hobby shop. Pull the line off the pipe and blow in it, see if the fuel moves.

when richening or leaning the needles are they all the same...clockwise or counterclockwise?

j8to33

rember what the engine needs to run air, fuel, spark. Check all of them new gas, stock needle settings, new glow plug, re-build the carb o-rings posably the o-ring on the back plate.

I think you guys are right about the clogged carb, had that problem a while back. Thanks again guys.

Hey there my LRP .32 was running G really good then it started backing the fuel into the tank...it starts if I put my finger on the exhaust but as soon as I release my finger it dies out...any help?

Sounds like a restriction in the carburetor or fuel tank. Might be worth following some of the advice in this very thread - remove the carb and disassemble the main needle valve/fuel inlet assembly and make sure it's clean and free flowing. Also check the fuel tank - if it has a built in filter, ensure its clean. Check the fuel tank lid o-ring to ensure its sealing. Ensure the pressure line and carb feed lines from the fuel tank are connected properly.
