Uh Oh, Engine Problems!!! Need Help Quick!
 

[:@][:'(]:([:o][X(]

I got a Sandmaster in an online trade and I'm pretty psyched about it... but here's the thing....

The damn engine doesn't run for crap...

I broke it back in and all, got it running and it doesn't go anywhere... checked it and the manifold is loose so I tightened it... it does it again... goes for about 1 1/2 minutes.. then cuts out....

My glow starter died so I went in for the night... NEED TO GET IT RUNNING!!! HOW!!!

I am upgrading from the A3 glow plug in it now to a Thunderbolt plug.... if it helps any....

It has great compression and has a good throaty sound....for rear exauhst.... PLEASE HELP!!

Your engine might be telling you it is time to let it go. It is a old kyosho engine... so it could need a new engine or complete rebuild.

OR... it could be vaporlocking. Run the engine, then keep it running by blowing in on the pressure line... if thats the case, you runnin too lean.

hehe, i hated that engine. IT might be too lean also, i ran mine 2 turns out and it was fine. I had my engine for 3 years AFTER the previous owner with no rebiuld.

It's an O.S Max .10.... not the Kyosho .12, sorry, I figured it out... it was the gasket between the manifold and the engine... the guy made it out of plastic so I need a new one.... it has tons of compression
