HAVE not used in awhile. Cleaned it up, started right up, ran one tank and it ran like a champ. Absolutley no probs. Ran out of fuel, let it cool for a few refueled and no start. Checked everything I know how. It rotates and almost sounds like it wants to but just wont. Checked glow plug, fuel goes into the lines and everything. It really sound like not enough compression. I have not cleaned the motor yet but noticed wetness between cooling head and block. I made sure head was tight but still wont go. Any ideas???????

Put your finger on the fly wheel and turn it counter clockwise. It should come to a point where it is rather hard to move and then break free. This is called pinch and it is when the piston is making its compression. If your motor has little or no pinch it will not compress the fuel enough. If you have fuel coming out out inbetween the cylender and cooling head I would take the motor apart and rebuild it. If your motor is the rtr motor I would probably buy a new one any way. good luck!

Try to turn the flywheel w/your fingers. It should be pretty hard. If it just easily turns over, then :eek: ! How old is the fuel you were using?
