Make sure the carb is fully open when you put fuel directly in to prime and before you put the glow starter on the plug pull the starter a couple of times to get the fuel in the engine.Also if you have left your engine a couple of days since it was last run it might be worth applying After Run Oil which can help next times start up and also it looks after your engine.

Just an update, today managed to run 2nd complete tank of fuel through. Quite difficult to keep engine running initially but with slight adjustment to needle valve / air/mixture screw engine ran smoothly for remainder of tankful (engine still emiting fuel / lubricant for tail pipe, so not running too lean). Engine easier to start today (after much research). I think this was mainly due to ensuring I primed system before trying to start. I did put 2/3 drops of fuel directly into carb as well. For info (and from research) what worked for me was taking fuel pipe off manifold (ensuring end was clean) and blowing through this until I saw fuel reach the needle valve. I have also read of putting finger over tail pipe and pulling start cord to suck fuel through but this did not work for me. Looking forward to another fine day when I can run next tankful and try it out on some Tarmac.

Guys me and keelan just about ready too start our first car and was wondering what the best nitro is too use as all the differrent start up instructions I have looked at say different % Nitro's and being a neewbe at this thought o the wisdom on here would be better than stressing about what to get.
