Hi guys, so I've had my associated rc10gt for a few years now and its just been sitting in my garage. It ran great a few years ago but after trying to tune it problems went wrong. It wouldn't start but i took it to a hobby shop and the guy got it to run after a while. It stopped starting before i put it away and recently i've been wanting to play with it. The problem is it doesn't start. I've turned the high speed and low speed mixtures to about 2 1/2 turns out and the idle speed screw is turned in enough so that the carb is about 1/16th open. When i try to pull start it nothing happens, it smells like nitro burning but the engine doesn't ignite. I've grabbed some Blue Thunder 20% fuel and the glow plug turns red so i'm completely clueless to what is going on. I've tried to put a little fuel in the carb and start it but that doesn't work either. I'm deciding whether to just take apart the engine and clean it (i think it might be gummed up after sitting there) or just selling it but i don't want to do that. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED! thanks
