Have you had the carby off?Yessabub said:So I've been messing with this tornado s30 since I got it in December and it will not run for me the needles are set to factory and it will only fire if I put a little gas in the motor then it dies in like 2 seconds any ideas?
No you don't have everything perfect if its not running!!!!!!!!!!!! If everything was perfect it would be running!!!!!!! You have a air leak somewhere that you need to chase down if you are running gas from the carb and its not sucking from the tank. You were asked are you priming before you try to crank it???? and you never answered. Are you putting your finger over the pipe and pulling the pull handle slowly until you see the fuel pull from the tank into the fuel line into the motor????? Once the gas gets to the motor stop then put the glow plug igniter on the glow plug then crank. If the fuel is not pulling from the tank when you slowly pull the pull start then rich en the low needle some more until it pulls gas. Start with the low speed need flush at first.Yessabub said:This thing is a POS everything is perfect yet it will still only run a second if I put fuel in the motor.
lol if I can rebuild real car and truck motors im preety sure I know how this motor works I AM PRIMING it pulls fuel because I see it run through the tube and it will splash out the carb,if I continue to pull I then try to start and it does not fire ive tried every needle setting combination nothing works like I said it will fire if I put a little fuel in the motor but then dies after burning the fuel.rcgasser said:No you don't have everything perfect if its not running!!!!!!!!!!!!

They look fine but I did notice the black plastic gears are loose feeling is that normal? I can wiggle them away from each other a bit also do the new clutch shoes look alright? The don't go in perfectly even like the original ones did so I didn't know if that was a problemrcgasser said:Check the grub screws in the diff cups.
