It just won't start

[Alfie Bailey]

Hi everyone I'm new to the forum I am having trouble starting my savage x4.6 the roto start is jamming on full torque even when I have taken the glow plug out removed all excess fuel . Before It was taking a long time for it to get started after priming .

THANKS FOR ALL REPLIES IN ADVANCE

check your glow plug... sounds as if it has gotten weak and not able to maintain heat enough for starting....

Thank you I will get a few new glow plugs just in case

It won't turn it over with the GP out and it's unflooded? Did you try manually rotating the flywheel to get off the stuck spot, then try to use the roto?

What battery pack are you using for the roto? Old/new?

Ok I will try this as well and I'm using the 6 cell plasma NiMH it came with and I'm 100% sure it is unflooded

New engines can be pretty tight and get stuck on you if your last spin left it near TDC. I've ripped pullstart handles off due to that. Now, during break-in, I make sure the engine is just past TDC so I get most of a rotation of inertia before hitting TDC again.
