2 RC Engine problems and fuel presuring

[chris3388]

Hello Guys!

My names Chris, I have a few problems recently.

1. I just got into nitro cars. I got a rc on-road .16 and it won't start its primed fully it normaly starts after 2-3 pulls. Now it won't even kick in. Any ideas?

2. The second problem is a bigger one my friend got a second hand nitro rc on-road car it starts and there is a priming button you can press to pump the fuel in. but to keep the car running we need to keep pushing the manual priming button every 2 seconds and faster when we higher the revvs, I was wondering why itsn not presurising automatically both pipes are attached properly.

I would really appreciate some help thanks guys!

Best Regards,
Chris.

Check your fuel line and replace them if needed. Sounds like you may have a pressure leak there or at your tank itself. You can also try pushing down on the fuel tank lid. Sometimes the O-Rings swell and don't make a good enough seal.

As far as your onroad....is it flooded? Pull out the plug completely and pull the cord 5 or 6 times while it's upside down to clear it out. If that doesn't fix you up...try a new plug or make sure your ignitor is charged enough to make the plug glow bright.
