If it's locked you have flooded it. Pull the glowplug, turn the rig upside down, and shake out the fuel. Now spin the motor over a few times then reinstall the glow plug.

When you go to fire up the engine again plug the exhaust stinger and turn over the engine for three-four seconds. Take your finger off the stinger and wait a few seconds. Then spin it again. If your glow plug isn't toast it will fire.

Yeah your engines flooded, do what RC Addict said. But the RS4's fuel tank has a primer so when your priming the fuel in dont over do it, just do it like one push more after it reaches the carb. If your just breaking in the engine, its a pain at first but pretty painless with roto start. I reccomend watching youtube vids on flooded engines, etc. Goodluck!

Once you clean out the excess fuel, try and start it WITHOUT priming it again. You can flood it again very easily immediately after emptying it again and you don't want to be in the same situation again. If it doesn't start then prime it a little bit.

Best to not use the priming button at all. That is the primary source of an air leak on any tank with such a button.
