Ok so i was having trouble getting my dunerunner to start. Put a new plug in it and it fired up finally with about 3 pulls. Ran it and it ended up dying and now it will not start at all. What are the factory carburetor setting so i can maybe try it again.

Vent your fuel system. You can try to crack the fuel cap when it does that till you get to the venting mod of your choice. Mine would bog down on acceleration big time, I cracked the cap and reinstalled and it ran great.

Factory is 1 + 1/4 low and 1 + 1/2 high but if it runs well try the fuel cap first

Lean your low end out 1/4 turn n give it another try. Thats what i did. Mine wouldn,t start either out of the box.

I didnt do anything with the fuel cap. It was just too rich, even with an ngk plug. My kid figured it out for me!!

I would still recommend venting the gas tank. Snappy rc fuel vent kit from ddm racing.
