got a problem with firestorm...

[Trucker_Eric]

its not running. i thought it was the glow plug, so i bought a brand new glw plug for it, and a new air filter, and it ran for 2 minutes, i was just revving it to get the fuel through it, and then i went to drive it and it shut off, so i got my igniter, tried starting it, ran for about 10 seconds, shuts off, and the same thing keeps happeneing, pleeze help!

Eric, It's very hard to diagnose engine trouble via email. I would start by looking through the manual for the factory needle settings and start over. Make sure you have fresh fuel and a new glow plug.

If none of the above gets you going, check for air leaks.

Good luck,
Greg B.

thanks, i figured out the problem, i was running the fuel too rich so i adjusted the carb and got a new air filter, and it ran just fine.

ok, well i gess that solves mine problum to...i just got new fuel that is 30 per cent not 20....so i have to tune it ::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:tuning:eek::eek::eek

[Trucker_Eric]

i use 20 full time and it dont give me a problem.

[LSXEric]

Its not all the nitro content for tunning, but also oil content and the brand itself

[Trucker_Eric]

i use hpi power fuel.

[LSXEric]

Hpi fuel is desent. Plus any nitro engine will run on any fuel u buy, just matters about the tuning, power u want, and longevity of the engine.

[Trucker_Eric]

its the clucth.

i use hpi 20% in my revo3.3 2008 and my rc8 rs runs hpi 30%
