motor wont start anymore

[2 steppen]

So while there was alittle snow on the ground, I wanted to run, everything was fine, ran great. minus my compression issue [ solved btw ] Now the truck wont start. I went back to all factory settings, Lsn and Hsn flush, and the idle about 1-2mm from carb body and i can't get the damn thing to even start! Whats wrong?!?!

Check your igniter and your glow plug first.

Ignitor is fully charged and the plug glows BRIGHT

Make sure you prime it till you know you're getting fuel to the engine. Raise the trim knob on your radio to open the carb more.

Yeah i was doing that, I finally got it running, The idle screw vibrated out of the car somehow?

but now, as i was going to tune it, the servos will work, then i plug the ignitor in adn they shut off and wont work....

You connect the igniter to the glow plug and your servos stop working? Other than picking up a spray can of gremlin killer, I don't know what to tell you.

Ermm. I replaced all batterys so there all brand new. I can start the car, then all servos stop working and my failsafe kicks in.

Gremlin killer?

Sounds like you've got some metal on metal contact. Check all the servo linkages and cords, and put shrink wrap or black electrician's tape on all metal-to-metal contacts.

k ill look later tonight, but I've been thinking about getting out of the hobby alot lately. i dont have as much time as what id like.

Definitely have something grounding out there. A frayed wire in the receiver would be my guess if they both stop working, but check the battery lead too just to be safe.

you say you were running in the snow? you got your electronics wet, they will react very strange when wet if they work at all
