:cool2: cant get the 29cc CY engine to start though its a brand new head convo

ive tried spark plug off fuel down head, new spark, millions of tugs of puller

wondering about settings :helpsmilie:


anyone know base settings or anything else could be???
 
Spec is:

29cc Engine
Samba pipe
Alloy front lower arms
Alloy front upper arms
Alloy front Bulkhead
Alloy front bumper
Alloy front hubs
Alloy Rear lower arms
Alloy Rear upper arms
Alloy rear diff gaurd
Alloy wheelie bar

Full alloy rollcage!! (my favourite)

Sikk toys K&N filter
Full Hi-tec servo's
Spektrum DX-3

soon to have front disk breaks and alloy gear carrier and alloy engine brace
 
1.75 he meant one and three quarter turns (on high needle) and on low=1.5 turns
plus or minus a quarter turn either direction.....
 
Looks good.

You need 3 things to run.
1.fuel
2.air
3.spark
if you have all those, it should run providing your needle settings are correct.

How does the compression feel, like it is good, or maybe somone said they did somthing they didn't and maybe it needs a top end?

plenty of compression and cant see it needing a new top end as the head is brand new :boat:


will try again today :)
 
Did you try the choke ? Is your throttle open to wide when trying to start it ? Is the kill switch stuck in ?


That sikka air filter..................Bin it mate they do more harm than good,either get a proper K & n with a pre filter or a R & n filter with a pre filter bag just make sure they are well oiled.If you run it in the dust that Sikka filter............well you might as well run your car without a filter which will kill your engine :no::no::no::no::no:

1st check to see that you have spark. Take plug and set it against the head and pull see if it sparks.
H=13/4 +/- 1/4 turn
L=11/2 +/- 1/4 turn

Turn the (H) screw all the way in until it just stops - DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Then back the screw out one and three quarters out using the slot as a guide.
Do the same with the (L) screw.

Make sure if you have tried starting it and pulled the crap out of it that it is not flooded. To check if its flooded take the spark plug out and look to see if it is wet, next tip the buggy over (do not allow anything to fall into the hole, clean the area before removing the spark plug) and gently pull the motor over, this will allow the bottom end and extra fuel in the top to exit the head. Sounds like you saw a spark right? If all else fails you can take the side off the motor and check that the coil is a business card away from the flywheel's magnets you could also clean or lightly sand the magnet areas, but hey there magnets your not going to make them stronger. Not all but most along with your motor are a fixed timing system, you cannot move the coil side to side to change the timing but if the coil gets too far away your spark could be decreased in theory.

What is your fuel to oil mixed at? 25-30:1

Is the primer bulb filled with fuel?

Is your idle screw just hitting the throttle shaft to allow enough idle?

Not a stupid question:blush: - Are you sure what direction the choke engages?

The K&N filters are kick but on road filters for these little motors but with off road they do allow too much micro dust particles to pass. I would switch back to stock and a Red Neck prefilter or Outerwear's.

With the Samba you have great performance but with the needles off any pipe can make it more difficult to get set up (Started) at first but once you find the spot its awesome. The needle settings are not like nitro and should only be moved a 1/16th at a time.

If all else fails ask again...

so there isn't a way to set up timing?
because im sure the spark is going too soon?

yea i've got the choke in right place

i've put it at the settings you said earlier and still nothing

i'm getting quite dispondent at whether or not i've just wasted my money:(

the guy is hopefully coming round soon to put the original 26cc head on as it worked with that he recons

Bigger the Better said:
Have any other photos of the head, carb and pipe?
Oh, ya how old is the fuel?
Click to expand...

i will get some closer pics in a bit

all fresh fuel taken from the pumps the day i started trying to run it:(
 
You should watch how he removes it and see if there is a install issue? Simple task once you do it once really! Hope it gets going for you and you can have fun with it!!!!!:cool2:
 
i know i can do it

im at college training to be a mechanic and i know how to strip down and rebuilt a 4 stroke engine right down so this would be easy

but i would rather he did it so if it doesn't work i can get my money :(


really love the truck but i cant afford a new engine or even another spark plug :(
