Hi guys we (family) where planning a christmas rc bash fest with all sorts of nitro rc's in the snow we been getting. So last minute kinda deal i decided to buy a 5b buggy used but in mint shape.
The problem, I cant seem to get it started no matter what!!! it has a good spark, and decent compression, and maybe even fuel at most times.
The fuel is circulating threw the lines and bulb. And some times the plug is wet some times bone dry. The carb is a no choke modle further adding to the confussion
I did get it to fire once, having someone (my old man) holding the transmitter to full throttle and it fired and ran for a bit but once let off is stalled and never ran again????
I already tryed the following:
- New fuel
- 3 new plugs,
-cleaned tank and new lines
-cleaned air filter
- made sure all the intake gaskets are allined
- tryed using starter either spary still wont start, well not with the either
- tryed tipping it up and hitting the gas a few times, someone online mentioned this for the no 813 choke carbs?
Just last night i cleaned an partaily rebuilt the carb again, In the top of the carb under the bulb/diaphram is the stainless low jet feed, is it ment to be blocked off with a brownish plastic jell? I used a pick to get it out but now am reading its suppost to be like that? Either way it still wont start!
Damb i really feel discuraged, I'm usaually the person people ask to help on this kind of thing, all my chain saws start right up, as well as 2 stroke dirtbikes.
I really wanted to use it tonight and show off a bit, Any help or tips is much needed and aprecated,
I might still get this thing going with the right help!
