Won't Start!

[igloo the eskimo]

I have a Redcat Vortex SS with a .18 engine. It's been sitting for about a month and a half without running. I tried starting it, and it would run for a second or two. I then adjusted the low speed needle, and it got a little better. I adjusted the idle screw, and now it won't do anything. The carb is getting fuel and the glow plug is fine. I tried adjusting the idle screw every which way, and nothing. Any ideas?

Edit: I put fresh fuel in it too.

try getting back to factory settings and a new plug. Maybe it's not ok.

+1. New plug and factory settings. Maybe a tad lean of factory if it's well broken in.

the same exact thing happened to me and i took it to my local hobby shop. first they tightened the glow plug alot, then they opened the idle some. and it ran the best i have ever seen it run.

Make sure there is a 2mm or so gap in the carb throat with your finger off of the trigger. Might have to turn the trim up on the radio to get it to start. Then turn it down once it warms up.
