Do you know how much your dad has ran it?
The best thing to do ,is to find the engine manual on that engine ,if you
can't find it ,then you can go online an get one!
That is a small block engine ,so it doesn't take much fuel to run it ,however ,
it is good to know the history of how much fuel has been ran in it ,because
new ,the engines have to go through a break-in process in which the carb settings
are set from factory very rich ,an then after break-in ,the needle settings need to be
tuned in to a more refined leaner setting!
Also ,you would need a fresh glow plug ,the glow plug is what ignites the fuel ,
so check your glow plug on the igniter an make sure that it glows a bright orange!..:cool:
 
remote is old AM radio . the switch's are to reverse throttle and steering servo from normal to reverse.and vise versa.under the D/R letters. the other side the am crystal channel 3.. the manuals are fowund online..check as cd has said..
