OFNA LX will not run

[rokman]

Got an OFNA LX Pro 1/8th scale buggy with the .25 motor in it and every
time the nistarter is taken off of it it dies. Already have tried about
5 glo plugs and am using the ones recommeneded by OFNA in the owner's
manual. The fuel is brand new and has no water or moisture in it...any
more ideas?

what type of fuel do you use?? you may need a hotter plug..

which plugs are they recommending? if its the same motor my roommate has,
they are saying to use long glow plugs, instead try short plugs, because
this motor has TONS of compression, and putting a long plug in it makes it
even worst. Try an OS-A3 short plug.

generally when the engine quits at idle as the battery is removed, it means
you are either running it way too rich, or your idle speed is set too low.
Carefully fiddle around with both until you find happiness.
BTW, nice car.
