Satsuma cranks, but won't turn over.

[Bobcat99]

So, I built the car from scratch, bolted eerything toether, and tuned with MSCeditor. The car won't tur over but it cranks forever. The choke is pulled out, I have a full tank, all of the fluids are full. If you have the optimal values for the rockers and carb for MSCeditor, please sahre them with me.

-Ken Thanks in advance!

This will be a tough one... Many things could be wrong...

Double-check your shelf in case you forgot something.

Do you have a leak anywhere when you fill the tank? There's a small nut you have to screw on the fuel tank to get the gas to the engine. It's a different size than the other that keep the tank attached to the car. You have to use the spanners for this one, the ratchet won't do.

Other fuel levels should not matter for starting the engine: they only help not blowing it up when it runs.

Are your sparkplugs screwed in with the right tool ?

Since you have MSCEditor, check the wear of:

• Starter
  
• Pistons
  
• Crankshaft
  
• Rockershaft

I'll edit or answer if I have an other idea

the rocker shaft doesn't have a wear value, but it could still cause the car not to start if it is broken.

Oh, my bad. I remember buying a brand new one from Fleetari so I thought it was one of the parts with wear.

Thanks alot. I'm going to try it out now.

[Machine Elf]

the rockershaft has a wear value btw..range from 100 to 0 i think

[phillip shoebuckle]

loose spark plug?

[(RQ)Ramalis]

:p if you have power there are only 2 real things that can go wrong with a car, no spark or no gas, check your distributor, wireing harness, and spark plugs to see if they are tight, if that doesn’t work remove them then reinstall. I don’t see how anything can be wrong with gas if MSCEditer is saying all the bolts are tight and nothing is missing.

I don't trust MSCEditos diagnosis. It's not an official tool so it might out dated.

[meesha]

For diagnosis it is quite ok if you dont expect much from it. If only to read some values (without interpreting) then it can be reliable. Speaking of which, what are the wear values of crank and pistons?

[Bobcat99]

I set all the wear values to 0

[Choose]

You have to set them to 100.
0 is totally worn out. Only fanbelt have to be set to 0.

[Augustus Shartfire]

oh good lord.

just, don't use the editor for fixing the engine.

[Stimpy]

Don't use the editor, get a build guide and build from knowledge.
