    Nitro engine getting stuck at TDC

    Thanks man. Yeah I didnt think I will be rebuilding pullstarts and taking the engine apart so soon. If the seller told me (i guess i should have asked too) the engine is new and i should probably use a heatgun on it. Could have saved me tons of time and effort, buy i guess i dont learn that...

    Nitro engine getting stuck at TDC

    I have good news! After I blasted her with the heatgun, she fired right up. I did loosen the glow plug a bit just to make sure she has every possible chance of turning over. Voila.

    Nitro engine getting stuck at TDC

    Thanks for the reply. Maybe I should calm down first. hahaha. Right, so it's a secondhand RC. I'm not sure as to the age of the motor. When I got it about two or so weeks back, I could happily pull on the pullstart and it would turn over freely. It would "feel" very tight, but a quick yank...

    Nitro engine getting stuck at TDC

    Howzit guys So I got this nitro. Secondhand. When i got it, i could easily pull the pullstart and the engine would turn over very well. Today though when i finally got my fuel and whatnot, the damn engine gets stuck at TDC. I pulled slowly on thr pullstart and it snapped. So i took the...
