Blong.... I've played with Gas RC for a while... 95% of the problems are Poorly kept conditions after every use. If this person didn't do the after run care and cleaning. You would just have to Strip out the engine. Clean all the congealed crap from Carb and Piston Chamber then set to Specs from Manufacture. Whether its an AUTO START or Pull start be sure Glow Plug is good. just get a new one only about 4 bucks.

Here two ways to force a start quickly if engine is in working order.

#1 try and prime the gas lines to carb first by whatever means you can. Via return line from exhaust or a prime pump built into tank.

#2 HOLD finger over exhaust pipe and start the engine. Back pressure forces the gas in the line faster then normal. Don't hold it to much you might flood the chamber then you have to pull the plug and dry the compression chamber.

Its my opinion - the carb probably needs to be re-tuned and cleaned.

be sure to get correct gas. Most cars like 20% Nitro but find out what the guy was using. You shouldn't be mixing to much...
