Ahh..Won't start? OK. Well I'm going to do my civic duty and pass on words of wisdom that have been handed down from generation to generation. Most recently imparted by our own sage philosopher NitroAddict...
===========================
If there is one thing I have learned it is that every engine will start. There are only four things that make a nitro engine run:
Fuel
Air
Compression
Combustion
All of these things must be in effect to start. So lets check them out.
Fuel: Can you see the fuel going from the line into the carb?
Air: Is the carb opening, is the airfilter clean?
Compression: Is there compression? If it is a new engine you should be ok. You can check it by manually turning the flywheel with your thumb, it should be almost impossible to do.
Combustion: Have you checked the
glow plug on the igniter while it is out of the car, and made sure it glows bright?
If all these things check out than it can only be one thing: You need to adjust the mixture of the fuel and air.
===========================
Best of luck to you...

When you turn the flywheel, make sure you turn it counter clockwise if you are looking at the clutchbell.
Candyman nailed it right on the head.
The one other quick thing is to make sure your glowignitor has a FULL charge as well.

Well I need to get this thing up and running since I bought it used from someone eho took care of it like a red headed step child.....No offense to those people. I cleaned all the mud grease that adheared to it. Can someone tell me how the 2 speed gears on the chassis are supposed to turn or not turn when trying to start it on the starter box?
