Pull-start the engine until got blister. LOL

could there be a problem with what i was doing?
- i charged the glowstick already.
- i put 75cc of fuel in the 125cc tank.
- the servos and remote dont have any problem.
- i pressed the throttle to 1/2 full and even full while pull-starting.


thanks to any replies !
1. Make sure fuel did went in to the engine (carburettor)
Use your finger to plug the exhaust muffler tip when you pull the starter cord,
watch the fuel (inside the fuel line) travel to the carb..,

2. If the pull cord stuck and difficult to pull; that means your engine is flooded and thus created a 'hydraulic lock effect', remove your glow plug and fuel line to the carburettor and give it a few pulls to clear the flooded fuel.

Install back your glow plug and fuel line, you should be able to get it started.
