it doesn't have a primer button and iam using a starter box what do i need to do to get the gas through to the engine?
 
Without the glow igniter connected, put your finger over the exhaust stinger and bump it gently until you see fuel reach the carb, or blow in to the pressure line to feed fuel to the carb.
 
lil bit of lung capacity thru pressure line will push up over to the carb.

-Ult
 
i just drop a little fuel down the carb and start it, that will power the engine enough tho blow fuel through
 
Ya, you don't want to blow too hard or you'll get to taste fuel :D not good.... I do what NC says, put your finger over the exhaust and bump it.
 
ya, but he should only do it untill it touches the carb needle, then IMMEDIATELY stop bumping the flywheel.
 
Nice little trick I use is I went and bought the primer bulb that comes with the Monster GT! That is trick and works very well, I have them for all 4 of my nitros:)
 
put on starterbox cover stinger with thumb, sprin engine and tank will pressurize quick, causing the fuel to prime carb
 
yep, just like everyone else says. plug stinger and bump engine for like a second or two.
 
Instead of putting fuel down the glow hole couldn't you put some ARO (just for lube) till the fuel gets there? Some one was saying that too much fuel down the glow hole and you could hydrolock the engine...?
