Flooded Engine Question: Empty the tank?
Okay. So I got a question about my Losi 8ight-t. If I flood the engine do I disconnect the fuel line? Or should I empty the tank completely? I know to remove the glow plug and turn my truck upside down and use the roto starter.

Just disconnect the fuel line. Be careful though. Loop the fuel line to where the pressure line goes and connect it there so you don't have nitro spilling on everything.

You dont have to do aanything to the fuel tank. Just take the glow plug out, turn upside down and crank it over for a few seconds. Install plug then fire it up.
