A few simple questions.

Your starting process would be; prime, put the ignitor on the plug, spin it with the ez start.

Why couldn't your starting process be: Put ingitor on glow plug , prime, then start with ez start(roto-srart for me):shrug:......That's how I do on my LST2 and it starts right up just fine !

As long as it makes ya feel better. It'll kill your ignitor battery a little faster.

Yeah, I guess it prety much does.....that's how I've been doin' it forever. I guess it would, but seriously how much more time could it possibly take ?: BTW, since that's the way it makes me feel better, I did the same thing again today(like always), but the damn thing wouldn't start/turn over for the life of it......I don't know WTF ?:shrug: Go figure !
I don't know if it's just because my roto-start battery(ies,3) weren't fully charged or what ? It would turn, but wouldn't start. The glow plug(McCoy #8) is fine, it's brand new & yes the glow starter(s) were charged. I have a Hot Shot 2 Long and a Tower Hobbbies Tower Power Long w/meter. For some reason, it sounded like it wasn't getting any fuel, but I just went over all the all the fuel lines(no air leaks) and fuel filters(2), so I know that's not the problem. Any ideas ?:\ Thanks !

Nevermind, I got it figured out.....it was an exhaust issue !

my enigne seems to be doing the same thing even after resetting the carb to factory settings

First of all, which engine is it ? Second of all, what 'same thing' is it doing ?
