When starting a new nitro engine, use a hair drier to get the block as warm as possible. 180-200 degrees is best. Make sure your fuel system is primed, and that your ignitor is fully charged. If the engine has never been run, use a few drops of after run oil to lube it up. A few drops through the glow plug hole does the trick. Turn the engine over a dozen times or so to spread it out.

If you've been trying to start it for a while, you may have flooded it as well. To clear it, take the glowplug out, hold the vehicle upside down so the engine head is pointing more at the ground and try to give the pull start a few quick rips.
