A sure way to tell if its dead is to compression test it.That wouldn't explain the fire tho.That has me baffled.

Yeah, all newbies listen up, first thing you do with engine troubles is a compression test.



If you have fire from your exhaust port, your getting way to much unburt fuel in there meaning your rotors aren't burning it.
