Hi
I own a 1/10th sclae 2 speed buggy.
When i go to start it with my drill start it takes a very very long time to start and it only just starts. when i cut the engine of and go to start it again it does the same thing. Have tuned it well, glow plug got good glow. its not flooded

please help thanks

Please re-state your question - it is kind of un-clear what your asking?

Does the engine just run for a couple of seconds then stop? or are you saying that after you run the car a while - then shut the engine off and try and re-start it - that is doesn't want to run?

Check for dirt in your fuel system carb etc. Any foreign boddies in ur fuel system can cause issues with tuning and starting. Cheers.. Matt..

Make sure your drill spins fast enough ;-)

Hi
Yes i shut the engine of on purpose and it only started once. The carb and fuel line is clean.

The drill spins very fast

Well if it is tuned right on the high and low end next question will be does it have good compression? and do you prime the fuel line before putting on the igniter?Engines with low comp take a while to start and if your not filling the fuel line before trying to start it that can cause the symptons as well.but when it shuts down and does it again that may rule that out.But i have run into problems with air leak and low comp as a reason for hard starting low comp more than air leak.Just my thoughts
