Need Help

[NltroRC]

I have an HPI Savage .21 and a HPI Nitro Rs4-2. I found them on the side of the street ready to be thrown out. I picked them up and gave them a clean and managed to start them 1-2 times. It has been a while since then and now I want to sell them, However I can't get them started. I brought the Savage .21 to my local hobby shop and they replaced the engine, I still can get it to start. I tried unflooding the engine and still nothing. It wont come to life, same as the Nitro Rs4-2. If you know what the problem is please let me know. Thanks!

@NltroRC First welcome to RCNT! The best place to start for nitro engine problems would be to check out our Nitro Tuning Tips and Tuning Flow Chart thread.

The hobby shop replaced the engine and didn't get it running for you? Make sure you have a strong igniter battery and FRESH fuel! I agree with following the flow chart to start as @WoodiE suggested.
