    You may want to clean out the muffler... You could just pull it off and let it drain... I'd be willing to bet it's been loaded up with oil and fuel from all the work and failed attempts at starting/not running right.

    Double check that you don't have any kinked or blocked fuel line/tank outlet etc. Also, make note of how full the tank is when this happens. These are just things to double check on a physical level. I would guess that your carb may need some adjustment. Also, what is your engine temps when...

    Yes, I totally agree with @cbaker65 !!! Provided there is no obstruction in fuel lines, a fuel filter (if you have one) or in the tank somewhere I would look towards a carb clean out and the orings. Just replace them... They are cheap and no need to gamble on them. Vasoline will work to lube the...

    Wow! That's SUPER clean!!! Nice job!!!! One thing I need to point out tho... The muffler!!! The sent may seem irrelevant... It is not unfortunately. The way the exhaust works on these is that there is a 'pulse' generated by the shape and design or the muffler. It causes reverb at a specific...

    I am working on my revo (finally). It needed some transmission parts which has actually turned into somewhat of a nightmare. The stock bearings are giving me a hard time. They are cheap and the poor quality is showing. Anyways, just from sitting, I have to do a number of other things as well. I...

    Eh, really if all the issues are down to some fuel, a glow plug and an igniter, you haven't done too bad. I have seen a LOT worse!!! See how things go for you here and let us know... Hopefully you'll be off and running. If nit, I do have more ideas but there's no need to take it further unless...

    Ok. I just stress the 'FULL charge' because I have seen a number of folks post without any clue as to why they couldn't get running. Everything is 100% done yet they couldn't fire only to find it was a weak charge on the igniter. Its a frustrating thing to have happen/overlook. ;)

    Do make sure that your new igniter has a full charge (or fresh batteries) as well. Having a couple new plugs (that are suited for you weather conditions) will likely be helpful as well. They are a cheap investment. Best of luck! Let us know how you make out!

    20% is the minimum percentage you'll want to use for surface nitro engines. I would check the glow plug just to be sure it's ok at this point too. Buy yourself a fresh jug of fuel with a good oil content, flush out the old stuff and see how it does. You may find that with increasing the % that...
