I just broke in my tsunami truggy from redcat racing. but it does not start up on 3rd pull from cold start like it should. I have the piston head sitting at optimal spot for cooldown. glow plug is great shape. I always get it started but takes 10-20 pulls it seems..then sometimes dies right away. I am going to try adding throttle at start up by adjusting throttle trim during cold start today . I read about that last night online. also, i have made a post in the general rc talk section that i would love your responses on. I could really use some info about that stuff too.It might even make you some money. its under the title "why hasn't someone created car guides".

Do U Prime Ur Carb?
If So If It Is "hydrolocked" Take Out The Plug Turnthe Vehicle Up Side Down And Pull The Starter To Unclog The Engine. To Prime It Hold The Pipe Hole And Pull The Starter 1-2 Times Then Put Thee Glow Igniter On And Try To Start
