Hey guys I just completed the build of my first Nitro Truck (Kyosho Mad Force) and I cannot get it to start for the first time?

I followed everything to a tee got everything charged, calibrated and ready to go but it will not start for anything.

One thing I was confused on was the talk of a CHOKE to move to prime the engine with gas, I cannot find one what so ever.

Is there something im missing? Anyhow after it would start for anything I took off the inlet pipe to the fuel tank ( the one from the muffler) and lightly blew through it to remove the air bubbles from the other side... Yeah I know this was stupid but I was desperate. Anyhow some fuel dripped out of the muffler after I tipped it sideways... So did I FLOOD it NOW?

And will this Nitro Fuel Evaporate like a real car over time or am I screwed with the Lubricant in it?


I am confused and stuck and needed it ready for tomorrow, help if someone can?

Thanks so much!

hm... i had problems with my t maxx too. my starter system was broken, but i think mad force has pull start doesnt it?
u can try to put your hand over the airfilter o over the exhoust pipe opening while pulling/starting. sometimes it has not enough pressur to pum the fuel through the pipes and by doing that u get better pressure. thats waht i am always doing. and it works. hope i could help u

I tried the plugging up the muffler with no avail.

I noticed after taking the air cleaner off there is alot of fuel in the intake? Is this normal? I did pull it a few times...

Anymore Ideas are most welcome!

Thanks

Finally it started!

Im not sure if it was because I flooded it out to much or if I wasnt pulling the cord out far enough, but it is now runnin!

Thanks for the help!
