I got a cen racing mg10 mt and for the life of myself i can't get it to start. It ran when i bought it i used it once, drained the fuel out of it and put on the shelf. I've tried everything i could think of new glow plug clean the carb, the pipe, (i've changed it back to the factory one) i took it to a friend had them look at it they couldn't get it to run either. The only thing i havent tried was another motor. If anyone can give me some advice to my problem it would be much appreciated.

How long was it sitting? You could have built-up gunk from leftover trace amounts of fuel/spent fuel in the engine assembly and/or air leaks from the gaskets or fuel line. Castor oil will congeal after extended periods.
You may want to tear the engine down, clean it out well, and rebuild/reseal just to be safe. If you haven't already, reset your needles to factory recommended and try firing it.

Am I supposed to say that 3 times real fast? 
Usually these kinds of questions get asked by newbies so I'm glad to know you already are way ahead of me. Maybe a dumb question but... is the fuel new or old? Condensation can ruin fuel etc. As for the cracked head possibility, I'm not the right person to ask. Maybe Rolex or someone more experienced can chime in with more suggestions.

First question, does the engine have good compression?
Have you replaced the fuel lines? Sounds like you may have old lines. Have you checked to see if the engine gets fuel? Try priming it first. Plug the stiunger of the pipe with something amd pull the pullstart. Does fuel make it to the carb. Let's start there first.
