Okay this is my first gas 1/5 scale got it on Monday and I put it together. Tuesday got the fuel the mix for it and did the 25 to 1. It started right away ran good idled great for the first tank . Then on Wednesday added fuel went to start it and nothing happened . I set the H & L needles to stock to see if it would start and nothing. It just didn't want to start so checked for loses wires or any leeks and found nothing. Has compression, spark but the spark plug was real wet. I let it sit over night and when I want to start it up today still doesn't want to start. :mad: And spark plug still real wet????? Don't want to take the carb apart or take the motor out cause I just got it. Is it a bad carb or am I doing something wrong????
 
sometimes you can take a propane torch and burn the end of the spark plug to dry it out and you can put it back in the motor and it will run i have done it a few times
 
The stock plugs are junk. I bought 2 mit's and the one had the electrode fall out of the plug. If your plug is wet then your getting gas so don't mess with the Carb yet.
 
I don't do a run in procedure I start them let warm up to operating temp go a little easy on the first tank and that's it full throttle blasts. Seems to work fine for me. I have found that if you ran it the night or day before it is best to try a start up without priming the carb or choke because you can flood it easy as there maybe fuel resting in the carb or motor anyway.
 
Went to Autozone, o'reilly, pep-boys and home depot and none of then carried the spark plug. Haven't run the truck had it up on a stand when I ran the first tank. After still trying to start it No luck yet. So took the carb off and the front and back gaskets had fuel on them??? Is this normal:confused: Took pics of them but don't know how to post them up.
 
the on the gaskets should be wet on one side the carb should be ok i think you have a fouled spark plug when you let a 2 stroke engine idle for a long time they load up and foul the plug

the bolts could have been loose i would just put it back together. if the gaskets are torn replace them but if they look good go ahead and put it together. you could check napa and see if they might have the spark plugs
