I bought and OBR full mod engine over the summer, ran great for about 2 months. I put it away for the winter in my closet. I've trying to start it for 2 days now, and the engine just won't kick over.. I replaced spark plug, reset carb needles, everything I could think of. I even place a plastic bag over the air filter, to act as a choke, still nothing.. Anyone have any idea's what I could try out?? :mad: It sounds like it wants to start, a minute ago, but just doesn't. I just broke a pull start, and installing another now.. Also it doesn't look like the idle arm is touching the idle screw. I screwed the idle screw all the way in and it is about 1mm away from touching. Do you think the carb could be bad? It's a walbro 990, but its only been ran about 4 time last summer, and then put away..

Okay thanks i'll let you know how it works out. What do you think of them roto starts from rovan? I had a roto start on and hpi nitro years back and thought they were pretty good.
 
where is the one way bearing located anyways? I did take off the carb, and the gasket was torn, and the the throttle servo horn, was stripped. Just ordered a aluminum one. also once the carb came off the idle arm is now touching the idle screw. once I replace everything, I think things will be fine.. Where is the one way in the engine?
