was up well anyway my front bumper was broken when it came but other than that its all good came withevery thing even the controller all i need is some fuel! i might buy some today if the stores open!
 
Spyderpact good luck man Merry Christmas with the new car and all that good stuff. I to plan to do a bunch of Christmas bashing. Later
 
oh ya the car was doing fine till it died out then wouldnt start again and when it did start it would die :doh: somethings wrong!! :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: the car went crazy when i started it one time (actually twice) and then some smoke came out, but i figured i had to turn on the radio. But if any of you know anylinks to set my car right, like the idle screw and the needle valve the instruction manuel wont explain it good. and how to set the radio so it hits the gas correctly. i bought this car used so i dont know if its broken or anything. preety much i want to set all the settings on deafult like the needls and stuff. and i left some gas in the tank after it went crazy will that break it?

no I'm pretty sure leavin gas in the tank wont mess it up. I've left gas in the tank for about 3-4 days and didnt mess it up. ya it sound likeyou just need to tune it. good luck.

ok thats good well I ran it into the driveway and then now it wont really start like the pull starts kinda stuck any thoughts? it might get better tomorrow cuz i think i didnt let it rest, but if it dosent get well what do you think I should doo?
 
If the pull start is stuck , then u probrably flooded it. Unscrew the glow plug and flip it upside down and pull the pullstart until the fuel comes out. Then rescrew the glow plug. Now check the pull start. And don't leave fuel in the tank for more than 3 days. The condensation gets in the engine and causes rust. Hope this helps.
 
Spyderpact there are some things that you should get to take proper care of that engine. Of course i would suggest a good set of tools as well as some after run oil, new glo-plugs and some air filter oil. A properly maintainted car is much better.
 
oko it works fine now at least i can start it but someitmes it takes a long time and i mean like 5 to 10 mins to start it i tip the car ofer a little and some fuel comes out of the exaust but once i get it to start it gets easy the next time. is this normal? and sometimes some fuel leaks out of the fly weel area when i prime it is there a leak? or thats just the fuel from flooding?
