The glow plug coil has a thin coating of platinum on it. This platinum is a catalyst that helps make additional heat during the compression stroke. If the platinum wears away the engine will run while the glow plug is heated by the battery, but won't sustain combustion temperature when the battery is disconnected.
Also, if an engine losing enough compression it will not develop enough heat in the combustion chamber to cause ignition when power is removed from glow plug....Al Scott
Nitro carries its own oxygen!
😂this video is brilliant, right to the point but with a bit of humour added in, new subscription for you sir !
Thank you 😁
@@HaggardRC no worries !!
@21:12 you cracked me up. "Its fiddly,... so F-ing get used to it. SOOOO True. But the thing that gets me most is the glow plug. Air/fuel ratio, ok, compression, ok un blocked air flow in and out of the engine and these things WANT to run. But the glow plug can glow nice and orange with the battery, but, when ya pull the battery the engine stalls.
Also worth checking your idle screw gap,seen people trying to start an engine with a fully closed carb,only other reason I can think of is your low speed needle is too lean not letting enough fuel in or too rich otherwise you pretty much covered it good video👍🏻
For some reason my idele screw does not seem to rotate the idle gap I dunno if I'm turning the right one ?
a hot glow plug number 3 lits up faster then a cold number 10 . the hotter glowplug is the better !!!
"the world is gay" 😂😂 lmfao damn that made me laugh
You flooded it because your a dick head 😂😂
Great video mate keep up the good work so easy to understand.
Thanks :)
how to fix the loose coil spring in the pug if it pops loose at the connection were it was welded ? i have a good plug but the wires poped off the plug at the end . solder will work or melt inside and ruin my engine? please need answer how the plugs are made. or can be repaired in my case. thanks.
Good tutorial video.
I have a question
What is the factory settings on a nitro car with the carb settings and tick over screws
As I have messed around with mine and rc car just zooms off by its self after using easy start to get it going. Glo plug OK and hump pack fully charged got nitro fuel going in
Mine won’t even turn on now
You can blow into the exhaust tonunflood an engine to, doesn't taste nice but it works 😉
My HPI Savage F4.6 motor refuses to start after I run it nice and hot. Is that an indication of a worn piston sleeve, or is there something else I can do to get the damn thing running again?
stupid question: how do you know the engine is at BDC to drain it if it is flooded, do you have a mark on the flywheel or something? or can you just guess, how do you know? The flashpoint of Nitro is 35 degrees C.
I can't get my T-Maxx classic to start with the igniter plug what would be the cause can you let me know
Great vid
Why won't my pull starter pull at all? It's no stuck out and gears move freely forwards and backwards.
Your engine is probably flooded
I'm struggling to get my xtm xcelerator started iv got a spark and fuel is flowing ok it's all priming ok ? But one problem I have is the throttle arm isn't connected so the throttle only has a tiny gap its a rotery carb and I can't adjust it for sum reason! It's missing the the little af sized nut that fastens the throttle olarm in place I have on on order fro Italy so waiting for that to arrive but was hoping to get it started as the fuel arrived today but it wont start ? Im guess I need to rotate the carb some how so that it's open ?
I have a nitro car after enjoying it up and down on the road it cuts out and will not start again and its not over heating
Yeah hi mate mine has got compression mine has got a good glow plug and fuel and where the so it's not blocked I have got cereal glow plugs I have tried but I haven't got the only thing I can think it could be what the glow plug screws cos it ignites it doesn't it and keeps it alight you know if you know what I and it's the same ftx that you've got
Dude what you said makes little sense... nothing keeps the glow plug alight apart from the combustion
@@HaggardRC yeah I'm sorry mate I'm new to this because I had it running yesterday fine I've even got a couple of glow plugs I've I've tried that as well 00 it just don't want to do nothing the only thing I can think unless it's got a hole in the engine but I'm running it in I'm not even going flat with it
@@HaggardRC what I was going to say as well all I done was changed the gasket for the exhaust because it was leaking out
@jasonmoody9673 You haven’t said the problem, and you’ve heated it up?
Great video!
I can start my engine it idles but when i give it the smallest of movement on the throttle it cuts out , it will not rev , stops dead
Could be a few things; I need more info if you want help 🤘🏻
Hey there, haggard. How is it going? Greetings from New Zealand
Hi :)
Just fine and dandy here.
How are you?
@HaggardRC fantastic! I want to thank you for keeping the creative spirit alive in me. I, too, am a content creator. But my channel has been dormant for awhile due too my computer being blocked by a tv, and then the phone i used to record footage crapped itself. Soon enough i will get back to maling content. But for now i will continue to feed off of your inspiration 😁
@How-To-RC Thanks for the kind words; yeah well I’d had a look at your channel a while ago. I do look at the subscriber list now and then, your name intrigued me.
I hope you get back to it soon. 😆
@@HaggardRCthanks man, i appreciate the support 😊 at the moment i am gathering ideas for future videos and uploading content that i had set aside but had not uploaded yet. I have a new phone for recording footage now, and very soon the tv will move to it's new location so i will have access to my computer again 😊
cool video as per usual dude .........👍👍
My car is idling so fast that if the rear wheels aren't on the ground, it takes off and revs at almost full throttle.. what should I do? Please help 🙏
I am not new to Nitro but I am having an issue I haven't seen before. I just got a Serpent SRX8 RTR Buggy and I have no problem starting it but when I remove igniter it dies. I have checked the glow plug and it's good, I don't have any air leaks, the only thing I have noticed is when it was running it seemed lean. There was blue smoke coming from the exhaust but no oil. I am going to try again tomorrow and richen up the LSN, if that doesn't work I have a new engine I can put in and try that
Watch jq racings videos on tuning
Glo plugs will go bad, they are coated in platinum and that platinum can get burned off over time,or run too lean.
My gxr wont start it was running fine the other day today it kept firing but not running so i returned all needles to factory settings and now it doesnt even give a sputter..
I am afraid i damaged the engine because a few days ago the air filter fell of and i didnt notice.
I searched for the filter and started it up at home with a good filter it ran perfectly fine...
Today the weather was a little bit warmer but it shoulf have fired right up.
My glow plug works perfectly too.
Any ideas?
Why can I see the moon during the day sometimes?
Because there’s two moons. A day and night moon.
Atleast you don't see the sun at night
Cheers pal great vid
I have a question I have a CEN NX 15 nitro engine but don't know what glow plug it needs?
I know this was 2 years ago but is there anyway i can contact on the phone or anything with help tunning my tornado s50 redcat
My Nitro engine redcat s30 isn't starting the engine fuel is not getting pushed
Seal on the tank is gone or there’s a hole somehwere letting the pressure out
My car is hard to start. Pulling the starter is hard. The engine give me a lot of feed back, looks like its getting suckt vaccuem. Sorry for the bad english i
I’ve got an OS 46cc helicopter engine. I’ve tried everything there and it’s still not starting. It was flooding and I found the problem to be the servo needed reversing as it was trying to start full throttle. However I rectified that today. But still no luck. Glow plug is fine, new fuel and it’s obviously getting into the engine. It seems to have good compression as it’s broken the shear pin on the starter shaft twice. You can hear it try and load up as it’s spinning on the drill but it just won’t fire. The needle valve is set as per manual. I believe the gap is right on the carby. Kind of lost with this one. Is there a way to actually check the compression even though you can feel the air coming out of the exhaust when trying to start.
Is it something like an OS 46 AXII?
If you’ve tried everything by the book now’s the time to start outside the book… Put a new plug in it and try that, and try putting some fuel directly down the carb too. There’s not really (as far as I know) effective ways to test compression on Nitro engines.
ARE GLOW PLUGS ALL THE SAME
No they’re not, you get different heats and also some are different sizes.
Hi, I bought myself a nitro car for xmas, i done all the prep work, and sure enough without fail it started bril..... then i adjusted a screw on the low end of the engine to try make it idle slower,,, big mistake now it wont start, i took it today to my local rc shop left it there 3 hours they said all done charged me £24 quid, took it home still wont start at all again :( i have primed the engine, charged the starter and the glow plug is fine,,, please pleae help :(
If you’re sure the glow plug is working and your starter is charged then use a hair dryer to warm the engine up, sometimes they need a bit of warming before they’ll start. Also try to put the needle back to where it was.
Why won’t my car not turn on I tired most of the stuff but the problem is for me I can’t get fuel in the exhaust pipe please help
What do you mean you can’t get fuel in the exhaust?
@@HaggardRC like every time I try to turn it on it doesn’t turn in and no gas is going through the pipe of the exhaust
@@HaggardRC my profile pic is my rc car
I can’t see the picture it’s too small, can you clear up what you mean by gas? Because what you’ve explained so far makes no sense at all I’m afraid 🫣
on his profile pic he had the pressure pipe from exhaust to carb instead of tank.
Hello just wanted to ask a question I have a HPI savage x 4.6 and the engine head is smoking you can literally see loads of smoke come out the engine do you know what I should do about this as I am worried I am going to fry the engine and how do I get the temperature to go down Thankyou
Turn high speed needle anti clock wise
My nitro buggy starts but when i rev it the engine stalls i dont know this issue pls help
Open the high speed needle one half turn and try that.
Is it difficult to mess up the threads screwing a glow plug in
No, it can happy easily so be careful
Could I get rethreaded please don't tell me I have to buy a new engine
Nah you can buy a new button if you have to… what engine is it?
3.5 trophy HPI
