try taking the fuel line off the pipe and blow into it, make sure there is no clog in the tank. take the line off the carb to see if fuel is coming out.

What he (ehroof) said. That's what I do to prime mine. Haven't got a primer bulb yet. Just remember to blow out not suck in

Thanx ehroof I finally got my tsunami running today and it runs good.one crazy thing i found wrong from the factory the little metal nipple comin out of the tank was not drilled out from the factory.my cousin luckily had one from a spare car.i guess that explains why no fuel to the carb and we had to make a gasket for the tank lid to get it to seal.Not a big deal but was wondering if redcat would take care of that being that the car was new.
