D8S Problems

[kingspade_09]

I recently bought a brand new D8S 1/8th Scale buggy. I ran the initial break in tank of gas through it with the wheels off the ground like it said. Since then I have not been able to start it. It sounds like it wants to start but it just won't. I switched out the glow plug but it still won't start. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It may be to rich as most engines are set rich for break in. Give the LSN a slight turn clockwise to lean the low end slightly, try 1 hour first (1/12 of a turn or 1 hour on a clock face), this will slightly lean the low end & may help get it going, you could lean the HSN 1 hour as well but try the LSN first.

Also, what glow plug are you using, (hot, med ??) & is your glow starter working properly, & check glow plug is working before putting it into the engine by putting the glow starter onto it, if it don't work it could be the starter.
