@aciidphreeek Do a google search for Macstar 28 and you should find a .pdf file explaining how to set the mixtures (youtube wont let me post the link for you). However, different fuels (%'s) will require different settings so it will only be a starting point.

[TheJAE1983]

@aciidphreeek Um I'd probably check your glow plug first. You'll notice at 0:07-0:10 I primed the carbi by putting my thumb over the exhaust and cranking the engine - this ALWAYS helps as cranking alone will take forever to push the fuel up to the carbi... If your glow plug is working, and the fuel is primed, and it still wont fire, then it's a mixture problem.

[TheJAE1983]

@RCRacing88 I agree

[TheJAE1983]

@rcoffroads Yep I reckon it's prime

[TheJAE1983]

@terrydukie The jammin pipe is prime. Definitely an improvement. As for the 2speed, it depends what your doing with it. If your racing on a short track it's prob not needed, but if your just havin fun drivin round where ever then go for it. It sounds cool changing gears and it does go heaps faster.

[TheJAE1983]

@rcoffroads No, I kept braking the cord.

[aciidphreeek]

@TheJAE1983 Do you have any tips? Couldn't get mine to start and spent over £50 on new fules good batteries failsafe etc, electrics all working fine just engine wont catch.
