Take the air filter off mate and start it and see if you can see the fuel dumping in.

Other than that lean the mixture in 1/4 turn increments untill it runs.

I dont mind having a look for you if need be... you can always call me if i can help in any way

Finished making a rolling road today for 1/8 trucks, should make tuning a lot easier

Though got caught by the site manager sneaking it out to my van he was more concerned I used the office main door to get to my van rather than using the main gate!!

The easiest way would be to put a dynamo on the rollers with a voltmeter.

The R/R is basically a quick lash up done for one reason, tuning engines, converting it probably would be impractical.

The size of the rollers are 18 inches wide and 13.5 inches between the wheel centres(forward and back), it was made for Savages, but if anyone wants to use it for their car (Off road only due to the pitch of the rollers) and these dimensions are no good, let me know and I'll redrill the frame accordingly

never used one before, didn't want a monster truck really wanted something that handles well.

I think this should do that with the capability of going off road as well, definately will be getting a started box got to make it as easy as possible to start.

What about the 1/8th scale buggy shown below?

That will handle even better than the stadium...

Although theyre both quite nice bits of kit

Just attended to start it again, no joy but was defo closer than usual...

There is fuel @ the carb when primed by blocking the exhausrt BUT dont seem much when just trying to start it. have just taken the exhaust off and poured the residue oil out there was loads. Just waiting for the EZ starter to cool a bit while charging the battery again and will try again....
