Hey, new to the forum here.
So I wound up buying an RTR Savage XL 5.9
At first it was pretty hard to start, especially in the cold weather, but I did get it running and have run about 4-5 tanks of fuel through it, not including the break in tanks.
So it had been running perfect and I thought I had a handle on the engine and tuning it, until last week when it decided that it did not want to start. It would turn over fine, and it would actually pop and burn fuel, and it got very close to starting, just never did. I tried again today with some warmer temperatures, still no luck. The closest I got was ONCE when it started up for about half a second, thenshut off and I couldn't get it running again.
There's new fuel in the tank, the roto start is fine, the glow plug and glow plug ignitor are fine, the air filter is fine, the gap in the carburetor is fine, the temperature is in the mid 50's, and I've started it in much colder weather than that. Fuel is getting to the engine fine. I even reset the needles to factory settings, still no luck. It just pops and acts like it wants to start but doesn't. Any suggestions? Thanks.
