Hi there all fg owners, I'm having trouble with my fg baja, it will fire but as soon as any throttle is added it kills itself. I have put fresh fuel in and still no joy. Is there anyone out there that can help?
I have been to modelsport in otley but they didn't really give a damn, after me ringing them and travelling through after they said they would look at it only to get there and be turned away. THANKS. :mad:
 
pull your carb off and give it a good clean in petrol (pull it all apart) check all the gaskets and also check the head for hairline cracks also have a look at the fuel cap as it should have a breather hole that might be blocked unless you have a breather pipe.
if all fails you might have an air leak and that could be mind blowing.
 
Hi there I have had the car stored from last year as I don't like to use it in the wet. I will try taking the engine apart and go from there give everything a good clean and check for any wear to piston and casing.

Thats not good service :mad: Give Rossendale Models a ring & they will talk you through a few checks over the phone (01706 250007). They are excellent :cool:

Have you tried a new plug as Mike says? What sort is your carb? It might have been on its way out when you put it away for the winter & this has just killed it off. Dependant on usage they will only give 12-18 months of good service obviously light usage will give you longer.
