I was buying an used Savage X 4.1. Today I was out driving it.
There was always a bit white smoke coming, so I don't think it was lean.
At the beginning I've filled the tank half full.
When the tank went empty, the engine stopped.
Now I don't get it to run anymore.
While trying to start using rotostart, I noticed lot of oily liquid coming out of the exhaust.
What can I do to get the engine alive again?
 
you need to prime the engine. I have clear fuel line to see the fuel go from tank to the carb. you want to blow thru line from exhaust line to fuel tank and watch fuel flow thru line from fuel tank to carb. do not over prime , you will cause too much fuel into engine causing lock up, then you would have to loosen or take out glow plug and turn over engine to get excess fuel out, would be best to make sure there is a fresh glow plug installed
 
When you prime engine can you see fuel go upto carb?
Have you checked glow plug?
You may have some gunk/old jelly formed fuel now blocking carb needles?
 
Possibly piston/sleeve is worn out and when hot it has less pinch. So let it cool down and see if it starts again. If it was idling and running with decent power then it should start from cold. Try raising the idle rpm using the transmitter throttle adjuster when starting.
 
Fuel comes to carb. How do I get old fuel of the needle?
Unfortunately it is good Friday here and I could not test anything.
Tomorrow I'll check with a new glowplug
 
i was trying to clean everything and i took a new glow plug. It startet once.
After it went off, i dint get it to run anymore.
now it looks like my LiPo-glow dows not work propperly
