Is your easy start fully charged? It needs to be so it can glow the plug enough to start the engine.

 

[B-Nad]

yep it charged over night

Do yourself a favor and save a lot of grief and stop using the glow plug wire from the EZ start. Get a separate igniter and use it instead.

Back when I ran my REVO with the EZ start, I started having the same problems. I unplugged the wire and used a separate igniter and never looked back.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Yeah. IMO igniters are better than wires.

well i have a ignitor but i can't get it to glow the plugs iether!

There are only a few causes.

1. Your batter is weak.
2. Your plug is bad.
3. Your igniter is bad.
4. You don't have the plug inserted all the way.

Can you see any glow in the wire at all?

everything is brand new and no there isnt anyglow at all i even turned off the lights and still no glow

Use a pair of needle nose pliers and gently hold the plug on the thread. Now grasp the plug with the ignitor and push the plug into the ignitor.It should stay in there by itself.It should lite. If not try another ignitor.

My rule of thumb is to try the plug right out of the package to make sure it lites up.

It's one of the 4 problems I mentioned so if everything is brand new and you are NOT using the EZ start to check the plug, then you are not inserting the plug properly.

Do as Jon suggests.
