Well this utterly sucks (Nitro car problems)

[MaSonZ]

its been three days and I'm just now starting to feel sick, I'm really congested out of the blue and a little queesy

if it can be fatal and fudge with your arteries, go to the doc get their input. dont wanna be messin up your body for good while a young teen.


arthritis in my right knee, and my right collar bone where i broke it is slowly acting up. only 17 and im dealin with this, not fun. get yourself looked over from a doc. get a list of things nitro fuel can do to you and have a doc order bloodwork and the sorts if you so desire.

Is nitro fuel bad for you if it gets on your hands or in cuts? I got mine in the sores from my hands and i'm feeling sick 3 days later

It'll burn like hell in an open cut.  I wouldn't worry about it.  If it was dangerous to get on your skin or in cuts I would have been dead 20 years ago.

well if you dont have a airtight seal on your fuel system that engine will never run right.

I used to use high temp RTV on the carb where it meets the engine and especially on the backplate behind where the pull starter goes. I'd let it dry and use mccoy #8 plugs. Used to live in FL so medium plugs worked well year round but had to run it mostly rich because of the humidity.

I read in school today, that the lethal amount of methanol is 3-4 tsp if ingested, I know I didn't get anywhere close to that much on me so I think i'm good, plus compared to last night I feel a heck of alot better.

I put pressure on it and don't run until no fuel leaks on the side, it works fine as it is right now.
