Mine had issues also. The turret didn't work and the track came off. I've tried to have amazon correct the problem and got no where. I ended up just putting it on a shelf. I was and still upset withe the service I got from this deal. Sorry I can't help.

Fully charge the battery (4 hours when brand new); install in tank. Turn tank on (button underneath); Turn R/C controller on. There are three buttons on the Remote Control (I think it is the one to the far left) press. Engine sounds should commence and you should be up & running.

Make sure the battery is charged, next turn on switch under the tank, its the larger one, on the transmitter turn that on and the press the key symbol. If this fails take the tank apart and check wiring connections . good idea to watch a demo in taking it apart on u tube. I took mine apart and rearranged the wiring and upgraded it. It works great. Any broken parts can easily be replaced through amazon or ebay

on the controller there is a engine start button, make sure the tank and controller are running at the same frequency and channel

I prefer using the pull start instead of the electric start. Change the oil, and spark plug as per the manual's instructions. Also, either store the generator without fuel in the tank, and drain the fuel lines, or add fuel stabilizer to keep the fuel from varnishing, which is bad.

Mine doesn't work either. It runs the CAB but doesn't seem to install anything but an icon that doesn't start anything up.

Make sure it is charged up and then connect the cables on each side just like you would jumper cables. If I remember right, you turn the switch on the back to "on" and then start your car. Works great!!

Press down on it. It's a pump. If your's doesn't work, it's probably broken.

I had that problem at first. Then I discovered that I was setting the fuel supply to rich. By just barely cracking the fuel valve open--mine start just fine. Between me and my friends, we have about ten of these in operation at this time.

I had a problem starting mine also, I think I flooded it. I went by the start up procedure the next time and had no problem--started right up.

No starting ability. Not a battery and doesn't put out enough juice to start.

like they say: ensure the chain brake is off, close to the handle. Ensure the engine cutoff is pulled all the way out. at least 6 prime pushes. choke all the way out, then 6 pulls. then choke halfway or all the way in, and one pull - boom it runs. I just started mine today after 3 years sitting unused. Put in fresh gas and it started right up, which impressed me a lot.

Change the ignition switch. Mine did the same and changing the switch fixed it.

You just turn your ignition key to on don't start the engine. It then starts its search. After it has completed its search touch enter then scroll down to say engine code then touch enter it will give you its code. Hit ESC then it takes you back to the beginning. Without the soft ware disc you cannot download to update it. After it has done its search you can start your engine scroll down to live stream hit enter and it will do its thing. If after all this and your screen is still blank its defective. Wayne

Turn on that switch before pulling the rope to start the engine. Turn off when done & it stops the engine.

Well with gas in tank, oil in the pan and some luck it should start. Use the starter bulb and try a few different settings on the choke.

Try starting without the foam air cleaner filter. Replace the fuel (add stabilizer) and the little fuel filter in the tank. If that doesn't work change the plug. If all else fails save the auger bit and buy a new one...

1) make sure your fuel mixture is correct - you may have too much oil which would foul the plug 2) in the choke position, prime it 5 or 6X and check to see fuel flows (bulb should fill and you should see it flow in the fuel line,) if it is not flowing your problem is in the fuel line 3)squeeze the trigger and pull the starter coil until it tries to start 4) place the choke in half position and pull the start coil - it should start. 5) after it warms up 20-30 secs choke to run position. Note:Check that your air filter is clean as well - you can remove the sponge filter to see that your choke is working properly when moving the choke lever. 1) make sure your fuel mixture is correct - you may have too much oil which would foul the plug 2) in the choke position, prime it 5 or 6X and check to see fuel flows (bulb should fill and you should see it flow in the fuel line,) if it is not flowing your problem is in the fuel line 3)squeeze the trigger and pull the starter coil until it tries to start 4) place the choke in half position and pull the start coil - it should start. 5) after it warms up 20-30 secs choke to run position.
