Praying my engine is o.k.

[Willystylee]

Ok so i decided to use the after run oil my hobby shop supplied me with when i bought my REVO 3.3.

I used it according to the instructions on the back which say to open the throttle to 100% and then put 3-4 drops into the caburator venturi.

I did this, but i thought that u were suppoded to when the engine is on. I put a few drops in and hit the throttle, and the engine shut off. I then tried to start via ez start, and turn the engine, but it just shuts off when i let go of the EZ start button.

Is this bad... I'm so worried right now, i hope it's just paranoia though.

I then went to my PC and did some googleing, and found this vid which says to but it inside the top of the engine (without glowplug) I didnt do that i just put a few drops in the carborator.:

Its fine that you put it in the carb. I've been doing this with all 6 of my nitro rigs since the day I've gotten em. You might have to replace the glo plug being you probably got a ton of ARO on it, but put a few drops (7-9) of fuel in your carb, put in a new plug, and try and crank it again.

I'm pretty sure your fine, it's just going to be a bear to get it re-started. Try putting a drop or 2 of fuel into the carb and starting it then. It just has to burn out the after run oil. What I do is put 2 or 3 drops in the carb when I'm done running and then pull the pull start a few times to cycle it through. When i go to run the next time, the first start usually stalls but after that everything is fine.

With the ez-starter, pull the blue wire out of the glow plug, then hit the EZ start button twice for 2 seconds a piece

True, never thought of fowling the plug.
