I have a team infinity .18 engine wich i only got around 6 months ago after running it in and tuneing it and only using 1/4 of a gallon of fuel and i have left it for 2/3 months and now i can't get it to start, i have changed the glow plug cleaned the carb set the tuneing settings back to the factory settings but it wont go, its priming fine and it doesn't seem to be any thing basic, but.... I have noticed slight corrosion on the crank shaft where the fuel is drawn in, the only way it will start is by pouring fuel directly into the carb or the cylinder head but then it only runs for a few seconds before dying out realy need help with this, thank you

O yes forgot to mention i have bought fresh fuel so it isnt that
 
If it starts when your pour fuel in the carb then it has to be that the carb is clogged. You're priming fuel to the carb but not through the carb.Take the needles completely out and spray some WD-40 through the openings. Or remove the carb and soak it in fresh fuel. Then reset the needles and try it.
 
I have tried but there was some grass in it i cleared it but still no luck
 
maybe your pressure line is clogged and not allowing your fuel tank to build pressure and push fuel to carb just an idea tho lol
