Thanks guys
ill order some other glow plugs anyway
like I said it’s fired up a few times so something is defo working
what I’d hypothesise is that the gunk in the engine is maybe fouling the glow plug?
can they be cleaned up?
the starter is brand new
how do I know if the clutch is sticking?

So started today after around 30 sec. Not run for 2 years.
Used HPI glow plug. HPI lube in each hole. Removed and replaced pull starter.
Set up to instructions using 25 percent nitro.
Good luck

Boy I sure hope Muddipete79 doesnt mind us taking over his thread in diagnosing your problem. We all would love to hear back from him also im sure.
It does seem like everybody in the nitro thread has a NDF-01 right now. Makes me want to find a example also haha.
Anywhoo... Problem child if there is very little resistance when pulling the starter string with the glowplug out I would wager that your engine is pretty tired. Usually theres kind of a "ridge" or tough spot it has to get over when pulling on the cord. Even with a glow plug removed. This is the pinch and is what makes compression.
The fact that oil has made its way out to the pullstart housing confirms my suspicion unfortunately as oil there means the bushing for the pull start shaft is worn and letting oil through. Maybe if you want to run the car alot look into getting a new engine and breaking it in.
Having to bottle feed an engine and then it not wanting to stay running is a sign that it has little compression. Any ideas on the history of the engine or how many liters of fuel it has seen?
Wish could help out, I am a total novice in nitro engines. Good luck

Try that, should be full manual without tuning

Added off-road springs and oil, foam filled buggy tyres and wheels, change gearing for wheels.
Going to run it for a while, then fully strip, clean and upgrade. Will be project for my son 10 also.

Hi,
Recently re-built NDF01 Nitro Force I have had for a while.
Unfortunately I have lost the manual with the base engine tuning settings. I have looked online for hours and cannot find any.
I did find the Nitro thunder manual, but this does not contain the engine tuning.
Thanks

NDF 01 Nitro Force engine set up
in All things RC Nitro

I have attached some photos from the manual, I can't see anything that refers to type of glow plug. My HPI one died in 2 min. So I have a cheap Chinese one which seems ok.
I have the factory set for needles, remember to turn high needle in i think 1/4 turn once broken in. As the manual states.
I run 25% nitro.
Set factory, then slightly adjust the idle needle I have found this helps to get more fuel in. I also pump the fuel in a good 6-7 pumps.
Hope it helps.
