HELLFIRE ENGINE CANNOT START

I bought a HELLFIRE RTR but cannot start the engine base on the instruction sheet. Is there any "C Hing" can help me? Please......

Hi micayys,

Any more info to your situation?
Did the engine have any "coming to life" sound?
Did it start and then quickly "dead fire"?
Have you checked to see that the glow plug is nice and bright?
What % fuel are you using?
Have you altered the fuel needle settings?

Suggestion:
1. Check health of glow plug, make sure it's nice and bright
2. If you haven't altered the factory settings,
you can try closing the high-speed needle by 3/4 turn and try again  =)

Cheers,
BHP

Thank you very much for your reply, BHP

1) It seems that there is no sign to start up.
2) I checked the glow plug is nice by using the igniter.
3) I am using 16% fuel.
4) I have turned the High Speed Needle clockwise and anticlockwise, but the enginer still cannot start
5) How can I restore the factory setting?

look at the instructions to turn High Speed needle and low speed back to factory settings, best not to touch them first (should be 3x360 turns from closed). Have you primed the engine?? (push the pump on the fuel tank) if so, check if the engine is flooded, pull out glowplug and pull the pullstart/turn rotostart to see if fuel is coming out. When you pull/rotostart the engine, is it stiff or very loose?? try open the carburator a little bit more on the transmitter (open by 0.5mm). Now see if it works, if not, take it back to original shop...

Hello PRiNCe,

I finally can start the engine by clear the flooded engine and open the carburator a little bit on the transmitter.

However, it is very difficult to pull to start the engine. My hand is hurt after 4 times of sucessful start by continous pulling. Is there any fault of my setting? OR After the break in, it is much easier to start the engine?

ok you are putting too much fuel into the engine. Don't prime the engine too much, look at the fuel as it enters the carb from the tubing. Don't 'min keung' or the string will snap. Just finish break in and it should be fine.

I haven't run the car for a whole week.

Today I let my car to run with wheels off the ground for the first tank of fuel. After that I let it cool down and start the second tank on the ground.

Once I push the throttle, the engine stops. Is there any problem on my engine or setting? Anyone can help?

fuel too rich !!

I am a new on the Nitro.

Bigben, What can I do?
