hello, my hurricane xp. have a hard time starting, actually it starded twice thats it , took the glow plug out and pull the cord couple off time, and installed it again. It almosts starded to run but no luck. glow plug its fully charged. I check the voltage and its was 1.2 volts. please help me. thanks

I'd try switching to an alkaline glo-ignitor first off. The ones that are in the starter kits have been troublesome.

We're working on getting alkaline ignitors in, but until then try your local hobby shop, ebay, or www.towerhobbies.com.

Make sure you are getting fuel to the carb also.

maybe glow plug no good, i usually change it the first sign of trouble, if the ignitor is good and your getting fuel, take the plug out and put it in the ignitor and see how good the "glow" is. if no glow or low glow then put new plug in.

thanks for youre help
i will try it out to see if the pulg is good

still not working the glow plrug and the plug are working. the plug is red hot help please []

is the fuel going to the carb?? How was it last time you ran it? is the cord hard to pull? if it is hard to pull maybe its flooded, you need to take the plug out, pull the starter with the engine upside down a few pulls, put plug back in and try it again. If this is not the case either change the plug or prime the carb, take the airfilter off and put a couple of drops of fuel in it, also make sure that the carb has a little opening so it will pull in air and start.

yes the carb has an opening a small one and it gets hard to start and i take the plug out and pull the cord and it doesnt work, it tries to start, but it doesnt.

its flooding out, try to dry it out by taking the plug out, turning upside down and pulling on the cord without the plug in. maybe put the high needle and low needle lean an 1/8 turn and try to start again, suggest a new plug!!!!!!!

thanks you

i got it to start everytime. ( i didnt do any carburator adj. ) but it dies.
when i clean the engine out (glow plug out and pull the string it is really full of gas even in the exhaust ). its starts right up but dies again. im going to buy glow plugs monday cause the hobbyshop its not open on sunday and try it again

change the plug and lean it in a little and you should be fine
