Air comes out in the carb ?? It seems, that something's wrong with the
fuel supply. Are you sure that the hoses are connected to the proper
nipples ? Did you use the crashed tank for your new model ? Did you
check the interior connections of the tank ? The hoses could be
damaged due to the crash ....
Open the needle valve a bit more and blow into the pressure line
(muffler) for some seconds. You must see fuel reaching the carb. If
not, your fuel support still is damaged ...

Bye,
