Yes, first car.

I definitely need to learn how to tunr properly...but as of right now the guy at the hobby shop test ran it and gave everything the final ok.

I really think my problem is priming the fuel system before starting. When the motor is cold, its easy to put my finger over the muffler and get some fuel pressure. After it runs through a tank, its harderbecause i have to use a wrag, and even if i try to stall the car with it it takes some time.

I dunno. Hopefully by next week my finger will be healed up and i can try some more.
