any tips on cold starting nitros Jerry? i am still new to em....LOL i went thru the breakin (4 tanks of heat cycle, then a few not exceeding half throttle, then 3/4 etc...burned almost a quart of fuel before it saw full throttle) on a new redcat SH .18 engine in the Nitro rs4, but it seems to give me fits starting cold... i prime it til fuel reaches the carb, 2 more primer pumps like the manual states, and try starting. it either floods the cylinder, or is still bone dry and i am sitting there pulling like a maniac trying to start it... once started, runs great, idles great, head temps around 250*F. im a small engine mechanic, but cant seem tho quite figure this one out....LOL all fuel line is fresh Tygon as well.
