    why wont it run????????

    i have a t-maxx 3.3 and had a situation where i had to get a new motor. i cant get the motor to crank at all not even to idel. i have tryied to tune it many times and nothing. i have set everything back to factory and tryed again and still nothing. im useing top fuel 20%. ive never had any problems before. ive replaced the return fuel line and i didnt know if it was possible that its just to short. i blew in the return line while trying to start it and it seemed like it wanted to start but it didnt. can anyone please help me???

    Take the line off and loop it back to the tank. Take out the plug and make sure it works. Heat the engine with a hair dryer, then turn it upside down and crank it over a few times. Re-connect the fuel line and blow in it til you see the fuel getting to the carb, not any more than that. Then, while it's still warm, try to start it.

    Are you priming it? Do you have a good glow plug? Yellow wire attached? Blue wire making good contact? Have you tried a glow plug ignitor? I guess since this isn't your first motor you know how to start one. Has the new motor ever started?
