Engine problem #2

[salazarp]

Well my TRX .15 was running but then all of the sudden it stopped, at first I thought it was flooded so I went through those steps but no difference. So I went ahead and bought a ez start for it because I got tired of pulling (50 to 100 pull this morning @ 6o am). So now I have theengine out with the E-Z start attached and a gas tank attached, remember it is no in the car I just wanted to see if it would crank up before I put it back in. Now would it help if I went ahead and put the muffler back on and intake? would it help to build compression? Please help I have been working on this thing for 9 hours. Thanks

Did you check to make sure that your glowplug isnt fried ?

Yes I went ahead and bought a new one and installed it, still nothing the engine just keeps turning but doesn't start.

yes you will have to put the exhuast back on because the engine needs back pressure to run correctly and should also put the air filter on so you dont suck anything in through the carb

Hey guys thanks for all of the help, end up that the cooling head wasn't tight and I was losing compression. So I then tighten it and now it start like a dandy.
