Savage 25 ... broken?

[ed2kewl]

i just started my savage 25 today for the first time. i was doing it a little, and it worked fine, but all of the sudden after the second gas tank it didn't work. i tried to turn it on with the rotostart, but it didnt make the crankin sound, it jus spinned. but then, when i took the glow plug out, it made the cranking sound, but it didn't spin. i took it to the hobby shop where i purchased it from. they got the gas out of the motor and everything, and then it worked. after a while, i tried it again, and it didnt work.is this broken? is this supposed to happen? or am i doing something wrong? please reply back, thank you.

Sounds like it's flooding. Hydrolock. Common thing during break-in so I hear.

Make sure you back off on the roto when you suspect flooding. Those things have enough torque to destroy themselves.
