Help Starting

[QDAWGG]

Well i just got my buggy a couple weeks ago (GS Racing CL-1 RTR) and now it wont start for nothing.. Ive checked the glow plug and it lights up pretty good. but when i try to prime it or even just pull it over no fuel is comming in to the engine, the line just stays dry. idk whats wrong here.

airleak somewhere?

It may be in the engine or the fuel system. Check your empty fuel tank by attaching fuel tubing to the pressure fitting and to the fuel fitting and then submerging it in water. Now pinch one of the fuel lines to pressurize the tank with air, and then blow into the other line. Do you see air bubbles coming out of the tank? If you do, identify where they’re coming from and either replace the tank or seal the leak with silicone. The fuel tubing itself can leak, and finding a hole in a piece of fuel tubing can be a pain, so replace the tubing. A fuel filter may also leak air; remove the filter from your vehicle and make sure that the parts are screwed together tightly and that the O-ring is intact. Last, but not least, your air leak may be somewhere in the engine. Instead of trying to find out where the leak is, just take the engine apart and seal every joint with oxygen-safe gasket sealant. Seal the backplate, the carb and all the joints on the high-speed needle.

+1, I have also seen fuel gelled up at the carb inlets, especially when it is hot out. if there are no air leaks (like scoobie said), I would check the fuel lines. Sometimes you have to prime your fuel line pretty well to get it going, we always blow fuel through the fuel lines before we go to start to make sure everything is flowing well (this also will show larger leaks).

Hey QDAWGG try blowing on the fuel line into the carb, If no air comes out back off your highspeed needle one full turn,Try blowing again, if air come out then squirt some wd-40 down the line.The engine might struggle trying to burn out the wd-40 but it will clean out the corrosion and gummed up fuel then should run like when you got it.
