What's the problem?

Without knowing exactly what issue you're having, the key things are that you have to align the wheel exactly, and let the starter wheel spool up to speed. Also, if you're having issues getting the box to turn the engine over, try loosening the glow plug to lessen compression.

You can also use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up your engine to widen the sleeve for easy starting.

Another thing you can try is to roll the piston back to "just after compression". This will allow it to get a running start.
