Cana 2-stroke engine have 2 much compression thtat it wont run ???
 
Only when it's new and normally a midgrade 21 or larger, or a really high grade 12-18. Back the glow plug off 1/4 turn and fire it up. Set the trim on your remote to where it's almost revving enough to make the clutch kick in, then tighten the glowplug back down. You should only have to do this for new engines that you are breaking in.

What engine and what fuel are you running? Also, is the engine new or old?
 
compression == gooood
no compression == bad!!!!

:cheers:

my 12 engine had a lot of compression. the fly wheel got jamed when trying to start it for the first time. i tried to turn the flywheel with my thumb and finger. but i couldnt move it an inche. got blisters on my fingers, the size of my thumb. :stupid:
it took me 2 days to get it started.

so just keep trying if ya have trouble starting your engine cause it has much compression. eventually it wil work.
