Whenever i try tro start it eith my rotostart, it will not put any gas through thegas tube and I'm not sure if it is clogged or something. It was working fine about 5 days ago but it wont work today?? what could my problem b?
 
Are you priming it by putting your finger over the exhaust while spinning the starter? Is the fuel cap closed and sealed properly?
You definately have a major air leak somewhere. Is the pressure line from the muffler to the tank good?
 
I'm with rolex, definite air leak. or the carb is clogged, do you run a fuel filter?

first thing i would do is take the pressure line and the carb line off, pinch off one and blow in the other. see if you can hear a leak. if not, check where the line connects to the nipples on the carb and pipe.

you can also leave the carb line on and blow in the pressure line and see if the carb is clogged

just be sure to clean the lines off and NO fuel in the tank!! nitro tastes like crap and burns!!
 
Thanks, I got it to work after I put my finger over it and tried to start it.
