So I had an accident which ended up with the buggy basically fully submerged in water for 5-10 seconds.
Iv taken apart the radio parts and had to order a new one so that's sorted.
The engine I took most of it Apart and gave it a clean. I have rebuilt it now and because I don't have any of the electronic throttle/radio parts working I'm having to start it adjusting the trim manually.
First thing I notice when trying to start it is no fuel was coming through the fuel line, I tried putting finger over the exhaust and then fuel came into the engine. After more attempts the pull starter got stuck so I emptied the tank and a brown fluid came out? The only way I seem to be able to get fuel into the tank is putting finger over the exhaust and even then I can't start it. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Edit: Found the error, seems to be a leak under the Cooling top where the glowplug fits in.
When the engine is running it cuts out while idling but if driven around it will cut out whenever the throttle or brake is released and it is evident that the leak is bad as fuel has sprayed over the top of the exhaust and on some of the parts.
How can i stop this leak? Iv made sure its screwed on super tight and theres nothing like sand or dirt blocking it.
