motor turns over, glow plug is good, fuel is getting to the motor HSN and LSN and idle are at factory. Why is it not starting? I'm getting so pissed not being able to get this damn thing started please help


More information is that i had it running prior to this thread and when ever i would give it full throttle and it would shut off. Couple of times there was white smoke coming out the pipe.

You're at factory settings. You should have been tuning during the break in. You're running way too rich to run properly and flooding it when you try to start.

By the way, please read the rules and title your threads correctly, otherwise EVERY thread on this forum would be titled, "Help".

When I loosen the glow plug the motor turns over but when it's normally tight it doesn't turn over what should I do

Is it a new engine? I had the issue where the piston was getting stuck at TDC. Had to turn the flywheel manually to get it free until i put some after-run oil to lubricate it

nah its like 3-4 months old and now i think its the ez start motor that took a poo
 
If it turns over when you loosen the plug and not when its tight then there is too much fuel sitting in the head! (flooded). Take the plug out turn the truck upside down and turn engine over for several seconds. Put plug back in lean the hsn a couple hours or 1/4 turn and try again. If your ez start took a crap then it wouldnt be turning the engine over at all. Then after all this resort to the tuning chart in the nitro talk stickie section and learn how to tune the engine proper.
