Hey guys, Im having some probs. breaking-in a buddy's Trinity/picco P12 on his rc10gt.
Here's what were working with:
Picco P12 non ps, rotory carb 1 1/2-2 turns hsn, 3 - 3 1/2 Lsn.(Per manual)
O.S plugs #8 (brand new, I also tried duratrax silver plugs)
O'Donells 20% (it's not the gas, I ran my maxx w/ the same fuel)
Duratrax universal bump box (neither of us have ever used one before and the 12V drained pretty quick)
Glow starter (we used the driver that plugs into the mini panel via banana plugs)
Rc10Gt Team factory
Here's whats happening. I primed the carb and then bumped the engine, at first it sounded as if it was going to fire right up but it never turned over. I then checked the the ignitor, plug, fuel flow, hydra lock and every thing seemed o.k. I then raised the heat to the plug and tried again, no luck. I noticed a lot of gas coming out of the the pipe so I started adjusting the needles to reduce this, no luck. I then changed the plug waited a few minutes and tried again, again it sounded as if it was going start... but no. By now the gell cell is getting low(I thought they held a good charge), the engine is warm and i've gone thru a tank and a half trying to get it started. WTF? :confused:
(Strike that last remark, just venting) :o :o
I think it's a combination of the needle settings and starter box, but what do I know, Im writing this darn tread. So if there are any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
