Well last night I headed down to the Blackfoot track so that I could run some nitro. When I arrived, I found the track in excellent shape, since we just had a quick rain it was nicely packed and not really dusty.
I grabbed my hopped up Savage 25 out and pulled the starter and and the engine fired right up. Then a few seconds of adjusting the idiling it died. Which, is always what happens. So I pulled to start it again and the handle on the starter broke. So I had to rip the engine out and have a look at the starter. Unfortunately I was not able to get it fixed so I had to get my other truck operational.
However, since I did not plan on running the LST it was all out of battery juice. So, I hooked it up to my truck to charge the battery, but it took 40 minutes, so before long two hours were passed and not a drop of nitro run.
I went home a little disappointed, but spent a few minutes working on the pull starter for the Savage and got it working.
Next time I’ll have better luck.
