my rc gas car won't start it's brand new tried taking glow plug out tipped it up and pulled pullstart any idea?
can anyone give me any ideas i've tried just about everything
Some of them can be a pain to start for the first time.
Best thing to do is take out the glow plug and put a few drops of fuel down in to the cylinder, but only a couple of drops and no more, then put the plug back in.
With the radio gear turned off, turn the throttle servo to open the carb, block the exhaust with your thumb and pull the pullstart 2 or 3 times.
Set the throttle servo back to normal, switch on the radio gear, then try starting it again.
And make sure the glow starter is fully charged, if it's new it might not be fully charged. So stick it on the charge overnight and try it again in the morning.
