Engine trouble
My Nitro Evader starts right away but as soon as the engine gets warm and the first run is complete it takes forever to get restarted. Is there anything I can do to get the engine refired quicker?

RE: Evader Engine
Howz the battery in the glow igniter?
Try a new glow plug? Fuel fresh? Bill :eek: |
RE: Evader Engine
Brand new fuel and glow plug
any other ideas |
RE: Evader Engine
....let it cool down. MOST engines are fussy about re-starting warm.

RE: Engine trouble
I bet the piston and sleeve are worn down it's very common with DTX .18's. I ended up buying a WASP .18 ($100)it's a direct bolt on and LOTS more power. How much fuel have you ran through it probably 1 3/4 a gallon. When you run it does it over heat easily? It's very common with DTX .18's and it's usually the piston sleeve. Try to fix it some other way first, but send it back to the factory to get the sleeve replaced if you still have the warrenty. The sleeve is made of cheap copper so it doesn't last long. Once again don't go out and buy a knew motor. Try typing in " DTX .18 engine problems" in the search box, I had this problem a few months ago with my car and posted a thing here and they knew exactly the problem i'd read throught it it's got tons of troubleshooting.

RE: Engine trouble
Buy a starter box, and start using it to start the engine. They work way, way better!! All my pullstart motors are a ***** to start once they are hot, I use the starter box, and bingo, they start immediately!

RE: Engine trouble
ive been contimplating that...just seems like it would work
|
RE: Engine trouble
i like pull starts cuz all you need is a glow starter and fuel an you can go anywhere with a starter boox you got to bring fuel ingitor and the heavy box, pull start easier:D
