tmaxx 3.3 glow plug problen

[charvey14]

I am only getting one start then my glow plug goes out. Any help would be appreciated

What do you mean goes out? Take the glow plug out and inspect, the coil should look like a perfect spring with verry little buildup,buy yourself a couple os long reach mediums, make sure the igniter is always charged

I'll start it and run it. When I try to start it again it won't start. I used 3 plugs today trying to figure it out. When I pull the plug out its almost black

I had a plane do this to me. Drove me nuts. Found out that I had three things wrong. First the wrong glow plug for the engine, second the wrong fuel mix (way to rich) and third I was using a power panel glow pug lighter that was sending to much power to the glow plug.
This sounds like one of the first two, or a combination. Hope this helps, Shaun

Sounds like your too rich, what temps are you seing after a speed run, is your fuel fresh and how old is the engine

Engine is just broke in. Someone else told me probably to rich
