I've been tryin to start almost every day for about a week and just wont start! i got a new glow plug, charged my ignitor, got good batteries in my car, radio is on, fuel in the tank, fuel in the carb, wont start. I've tried a lot of stuff I've seen on here. I've tried tuning it, priming it a lot of different ways, putin fuel in the carb manually. is it time for a new engine?? i just finished my second gallon and 1 quart throughthe engine and i boughtit used so who knows how much fuel has gone through it with th previous owner. cananyone help me??? any other way of tryin to start it??? all help is appreciated. thanks

ooh ya and i got the stock .21bb
 
Not too certain, but if it is colder than normal in CALI, you may want to try heating up the engine with a hair dryer for about two minutes. Sometimes if it is too cold, then engine needs a little help to get hot.
 
Make sure your ignitor is working right, Take a glow plug and see if it lights up in your hand. Just because you charged it doesn't meen it working. Try that and see what happens. Good luck!!!

I remember you run a lot in the mud and it seems that you have done all you can under normal conditions to try to start it. Try taking out the engine and give the carbs and the clutch a real good inspection and cleaning. You might find something in there that will give you the answer. Good luck, and if you don't find any, take it to your LHS, they should have a solution to your problem.

YES!!!! i got it started. all i did was put a blow dryer to it for about a minute, and after like 10 pulls, started up. while i was out o driving my savage, i built this ramp and when get it started, i went off it at like 1/8 throttle. was trying to be cautious, i amost landed a backflip, i got like 6 feet in the air.it was cool. and got the rollcage from r/c solutions bout to go on my savage. but i think immaget the aluminum bulkheads and shocktowers from r/c solutions to maximise the chassis strengh with the rollcage on. ill get somepictures later when i get everything on. thanks for all you help!
