Engine starting Problem.
Hi!
I have a Nitro Star .15 that I am having problems with.
When I come in for a refuel, with the engine still running, it will stall out if a I get on the throttle to soon after this.
When I try to restart it I can prime it, but fuel does not move to the carb.
When I do prime it, I can see the bubbles move to the carb but then the move right back out when I let off the primer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

RE: Engine starting Problem.
Car engines do not like to idle long if you do not blip the throttle a little. This is most evident in the better performing 12 and 15 sized engines, the 21 sized ones can idle all day. Also, your low end might be a little rich, try leaning it off about 1/8 turn or just a little less than 1/8. Also, you can take the idle up a bit.

After thinking about it a little more, would opening the gas tank have anything to do with it? WIll I lose to much pressure?
thanks!
