How old is the fuel? I think it has a shelf life of not much more than a year. I could be wrong though. |

Check to make sure your glow ignighter is fully charged. if you ahve the EZ system then take the wire off the plug and plug it in another one to make sure its getting glow to the plug. If it does, make sure your fuel needle on the carb isnt closed, if so, loosen 1/8 of a turn. IF thats not it, make sure your servo is pulling the carb out. If thats not it make sure your air filter is clean. take it off and see if it starts. And the most common thing is those pesky nitros pistion/sleeve wear out quickly. Thats why I went to electric. :soap: |
