Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / February 2005Traxxas 4-tec
I have an Traxxas 4-Tec. With the new 2.5 engine. After a long standstill I cant get it running. I have tried to reset the fuel settings to factory settings. But it floods, and wont move. Someone with a tip ? Lars Thorvald Norway check your glow plug Answers inline > I have an Traxxas 4-Tec. With the new 2.5 engine. After a long standstill I How long did the truck sit? Did you run all the fuel out or use after run oil before storing!!? > cant get it running. I have tried to reset the fuel settings to factory NO - too rich?! > settings. But it floods, and wont move. Someone with a tip ? Did you initially break engine in properly? 1st check that the glow plug is in good working order - should glow white when is good condition! I'll assume engine was properly broken in -- empty all the fuel out and start over Carb should be set at 3 turns out - attempt to start 3 times then turn mixture screw counter clockwise in @ 30 degrees or @ 1/16th after every three attempts If it still doesn't start - find a big a.s hammer a beat the crap out of it .>> well that's what I would do <grin>  SignatureBBA °?° RMRL FAQ -- http://www.faqs.org/faqs/models/rc-cars/newbie-guide/ BBA's RC Site - http://www.billybadassrc.com When Privacy Matters -- http://www.epic.org Carb should be set at 3 turns out - attempt to start 3 times then turn mixture screw CLOCKWISE (Mistake>>counter clockwise<<) in @ 30 degrees or @ 1/16th after every three attempts If it still doesn't start - find a big a.s hammer a beat the crap out of it .>> well that's what I would do <grin> > Answers inline > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > How long did the truck sit? > Did you run all the fuel out or use after run oil before storing!!? No. I just forgot to do this. >> cant get it running. I have tried to reset the fuel settings to factory > > NO - too rich?! OK >> settings. But it floods, and wont move. Someone with a tip ? > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > it .>> > well that's what I would do <grin> I thought about it yesterday, but then I started my T,Maxx. And then I forgot about the 4-Tec. By the way, Thanks Lars Th > I have an Traxxas 4-Tec. With the new 2.5 engine. After a long standstill I > cant get it running. I have tried to reset the fuel settings to factory Could be a dead glowplug, bad continuity in the blue/yellow gp ignitor wires, or the gp ignitor circuit in the 5280 control box itself. If you put a voltmeter in the control box holes and press the red button you should get ~1.5vdc out of the gp side and nominal 7.2v out of the motor-cranking side. > settings. But it floods, and wont move. Someone with a tip ? I think this means that the engine so that the engine won't move.
