Is your glow starter at proper voltage (charged).
Yeah, the glow starter was fully charged and the plug is new. Also, I heated the motor with a hair dryer to 150 degrees before I attempted to start it. Its just taking forever for it to hit, and once it does all is well until I try to start it again after it has cooled down.
