Default Nitro RS4 MT won't fire up!

Hey guys,
So recently i unfroze my nitro engine. It's been sitting around for about 5 years but before i stopped playing with it, i only put about half a gallon's worth of fuel through it. The glow plug/Glow starter both work. The glow plug lights up just past the orange color. At first the nitro wouldn't travel through the tube for some reason, then i cleaned out the tank and tube and finally got it prime correctly. So i primed it so that the fuel just hit the carburetor, put on the glow starter, and kept pulling the pull start. But nothing happens, it won't even start for a split second. Then i thought it was flooded so i emptied the tank and removed the glow plug, and start pulling on the pull start with the car upside down. After about a minute's worth of that i put the glow plug back on and refilled the tank. Did the same thing as before, but still nothing. What's going on here?

P.S. (This is the Nitro Star 15FE engine, it came with the HPI Nitro RS4 MT).
