    Need help getting my Duratrax Street Pro GP to run again after a long long time.

    Where is the vid? They should run even with pressure line disconnected. I would check for air leaks now. When you prime the car, finger over stinger and a few pulls, can you see the fuel entering the carb?

    Need help getting my Duratrax Street Pro GP to run again after a long long time.

    It can be very easy to flood an engine, literally matter of seconds while priming. As soon as you see the fuel enter the carb, stop and try and start the car. Its always a good practice to disassemble the carb, if the car has been sitting for too long, but I don't think its that since the fuel...

    Need help getting my Duratrax Street Pro GP to run again after a long long time.

    Manual states 2 turns out from fully closed? Weird, usually its flush with the housing. The only logical think I could suggest is to give it another turn out, so 3 in total and try again. Give it a bit throttle via Throttle trim button on the remote, not too much, as you don't want it taking...

    You set it back to 2? What does that mean, 2 turns out from fully closed? That means that some fuel entered the engine and it wants to start, but if you screwed it back in like it was before, it is now deprived of fuel again...

    The key is to prime the engine without flooding it. That's good, at least now you know the HSN is not closed all the way in, or clogged. Remove the glow plug, engine upside down, tug the pull start a few times, excess fuel will come out. Try to start it, if engine still too tight, loosen the...

    Need help getting my Duratrax Street Pro GP to run again after a long long time.

    The little brass round housing in the middle by the air filter, its houses your High Speed Needle (HSN). It seems that its turned in too much (clockwise). A good starting (Factory) setting for HSN is to be flush with the top of the housing, so unscrew it, until it sits flush, then try and start...

    Good spot, that HSN def looks to be all the way in, if so you will not get any fuel to enter the engine, set it flush with the housing, then give some throttle trim or increase idle gap and try again.
