DBXL Kill switch stuck?

[RickD67]

IDK it ran fine the day before? I think maybe I flooded it from trying to start it with the red switch pushed in all the way??

Could be. Hard to say at this point. Have you checked the plug to see if it sparks? Or if its wet? There are a few things besides a defective shut off switch that could keep it from starting.

Hey welcome . Your in good hands ??

Ahhh not too sure about that but ur definitely welcome here ??

So now I found out that the killswitch I ordered needs a 3 ch radio?! I am using a Spektrum SPM2335 so I guess I am screwed.

You can still use your radio, just you won't have the function of killing the engine from the remote. It will still save you from a runaway tho ?

Heres my Losi BTW

Is your transmitter a simple 2 channel ,or is there a aux 3rd switch on it ,an the receiver only 2 channel?

I don't know too much about speckys ,but some radio gear will have an extra on one or the other!

You're OK, that radio has the SR310 reciever which is 3 channel. Just plug the killswitch into the AUX port and you're good

 

[RickD67]

Just checked and it does in fact have a SR310 3ch reciever. Something is already plugged into the aux port?

 

[crucialRC]

Battery?

 

[DougStar]

Take the battery put it in the bind slot put the kill switch in aux ??

[RickD67]

Ok I am getting the switch delivered sometime today

 

[RickD67]

I had some time to mess w/it and pulled the spark plug and it sparks just fine. Still won't start...

Since this started as an electrical issue ,an maybe revolving into possibly something else ,is your throttle servo even
moving the carb. lever ,maybe the butterfly isnt opening enough to were it will start ,or is it even trying to fire?

If it isnt firing over but is still throwing spark ,then the spark timing maybe off ,maybe the coil had jammed on
the flywheel!

 

[RickD67]

Throttle servo is working properly and butterfly is opening. How Do I check the coil? I still think it might be flooded >

Well ,you would have to ,maybe take the engine out for that ,all you have to do is check an make sure that it didn't come loose ,
an droop down into your flywheel ,if it jammed ,it could cause the woodruff key to shear an throw timing off ,but ,if that
happened ,then you would know it did upon pulling the starter ,but also ,if your spur & running gear jammed ,or a miss
fire could cause that too!

If you think that it is flooded ,then pull the fuel line off ,dry the spark plug ,an give it a few pulls with out the
gas line hooked up an see if it fires!

 

[RickD67]

Ok thanks. I gotthe kill switch and have a question. Do I have to take the motor out to install the kill switch??

 

[DougStar]

Yes the switch connects to the cut switch and coil??
