New Chimera

[Dieselaw]

Well i just got my new Chimera yesterday. I wasn't able to get it running last night. So today i get to check the spark plug and things like that. If there are any tips for a new RC/Chimera owner i am all ears. Looking forward to getting it running.

make sure the primer is pumped up and put the choke on. Pull the starter a few time and it will pop like its trying to start. Put the choke off and the next pull it will start.

Don't pull it more than twice with the choke on whether it pops or not or you'll flood it

I can pull mine sometime 5-7 times till it 'pops' with the choke on..

Never flooded

Very strange but I spose every motor/carby is different

I run a 990 now - no choke but the old 668 would flood as soon as look at it

if it lunging, the idle is too high . Back it off a bit
