my kyosho pull start is stuck. i can't pull it out what so ever. i thought it was the engine flooded but when i took the glow plug off no fuel came out. even when i have the glow plug i can't pull the pull start out. btw I'm new to nitro cars.

You might be locked up against the compression. Take out the glow plug and rotate the flywheel by hand. It should lock up against the pullstart in one direction, but turn freely in the other. If not, you have an internal problem.

The piston may be stuck at top dead center. Stick a screwdriver into the "teeth" of the flywheel and rotate the engine. Heating the engine will help.
After every run you need to set the piston to bottom dead center. Do this by rotating the flywheel with your finger after shutting down the engine. You'll know it is at bottom dead center if it is easy to move. As the piston moves up into the cylinder it will become tight. If you let the engine cool with the piston in the top dead center position, it will stick like it is now.
