Difficult to start classic maxx

[conduitjock]

Hi I recently bought a classic .15 maxx and am having a hard time starting it. When I try to start it I can't prime the engine enough to start it. I have to pour nitro in the carb to get it to fire up. I sealed the engine when i got it, and I cleaned the carb and tuned it. I performed a pinch test and get a solid 3 seconds out of it, so i think lsn is good. It runs too good ( for a puny
.15 lol) to have hsn troubles imo. Does any one have any ideas? I would like to start it with out having to take the body off.

Try changing the glow plug.

Already changed it two days ago.

did you try to take the fuel lines off and either replace them or blow them out with an air gun, is the gas tank dirty on the inside?

Are you using the EZ-start system? If so,try a separate glow igniter.

i second using the glow igniter, for some reason sometime my truck wont start with the ez start and when i use the glow igniter it starts right up, i haven't looked too much into it yet

I had the same problem with mine. Something in the ez start system went bad. Had to buy a plug warmer. Mine also has a problem with priming, have to blow on the line off the exhaust, after that she fires right up, well before the connecting rod massacre anyways.
