man yesterday guys i tried to start my sp2 and the darn ofna starter that i have could not turn my v-spec , its fully charged i heated it up with a blow dryer to about 175 and the starter charged for a full two days. The compression on the tdc is to much i have to use pliers to pull the wheel so piston isnt sitting in tdc. I dont understand what is the problem i even took the hole thing out oiled it up and try hand turning it . it turns but hard as hell i cant get it to start . I called my locaL HOBBY shop and they dont even know why its not turning . Ive done everything possible to try to get this thing to atleast start but there is to much compression . what should i do guys? I am at work right now and im going to my shop to drop off my buggy after work . could it be a faulty engine or is it really supposed to be this hard to start for the first time. ? if i cant get this thing broken in by friday i wont be able to participate in the race this weekend

loosen your glow plug to relieve some of the compression. Then have the box wheel spinning already when you hit the flywheel. Before hand blow into your pressure fuel line to get fuel into the carb. Once the engine starts make sure you retighten the plug
Also I am assuming your box wheel is aligned with the flywheel, making good contact.
A friend will help you move, but a REAL friend will help you move a body.

man i tried that last night is still wouldnt turn over. the tightness at the top is crazy tight. its pointless to blow the fuel in there if i cant turn it a full turn to even start. but i did try that....im not sure what to do?

All new engines are a bear to start the initial time.
I am available to help you on Wednesday night if you want to drive to my house. I will get that thing started as long as your box is charged and it's not defective. I could help you break it in as well.
I may be helping someone else the same night but that is just to tune a motor and won't conflict, I can help both of you. Let me know if this sounds like something you want to do.
I don't think the Vspec is faulty but anything could happen so.....

I live near Romeoville in Plainfield. Probably 20-30 mins from you (assuming 79th and Harlem)
I work until 5pm also and if you wanted to stop by around 7pm, that would be fine.
If your interested in that PM me and I'll provide my address for mapquest.

the P3 is the only plug to run in that motor, it is much hotter and may be easy to start if u use it for the first time

that is probably the easiest motor to tune, its all about power tuning lol go a couple hours on the needles, unlike some of these high end italian race motors where 1 hour changes it like 30*. lean out the top end until it doesnt gurgle and u hear a crisp power band at top end, then lean up the bottom, or richen depending on heat so that it doesnt bog but will load up a bit after 10 seconds and u should be good
