Hi when it was running was it blowing a large amount of smoke out of the pipe? It may be running to rich. A easy way to check this is by pulling the blue wire off the glow plug and taking the glow plug out. Check the glow plug see if there is a lot of fuel on it and also replace the glow plug with a new one it may be bad. Let us know what you find out good luck. Revo
 
when in doubt return all the needles to factory settings , check your glow plug to see if it glows when lit , try using a glow plug ignitor instead it will save alot of juice in your 7.2v battery , make sure your idle is not shut all the way if not it will not start, and make sure our engine is not flooded , mmmmmmm thats it for me , hope this might help, good luck man:thumbup: :thumbup:
