Well, heres my story.
I got my Nitro rustler for Christmas and I broke it in properly,ran almost a gallon of three year old fuel through it Than fouled my first glow plug.
It took me about three months to get a new one.
Than I put it in my car and now I can't get my car to run.
Is this because of the fuel?
Its making me mad looking at all that fun(that doesn't run):\ :ponder2: :help: :angry:
 
Well if it been sitting for a while you might be all out of tune, try setting it back to stock settings and go from there. Pluse are you geting fule to the carb might want to get some new lines. Thats a starting point at least id go from there.

I'm getting to much fuel to the carb.
My hsn is at (was at) 1 1/2 turns out and was flooding right left and center.
My glow plugs make my eyes hurt they shine so bright.
Are the stock setting for the TRX 2.5 3 1/2 turns out for hsn and flush for lsn?
 
Ya generally i use 4 turns out on the hsn and .5 turns in on the low speed,I'm stumped on this one. Who knows try a hotter plug, what plug are you running right now? Mc59 are what i alway run but if i go hotter i go with a Mc-8 i think.

Flush all the old fuel out of thje lines, go to stock settings, and prime it.
 
It's hard to prime it when I have to put my finger over the exhaust pipe.
And when I do that for 1/2 a second it floods.
 
Take the pressure line off the exhaust and blow gently into it. When the fuel hits the carb, it's primed. Then your less likely to over prime. Then re-install the pressure line on the pipe and try to start it.
