At the moment piston is at TDC, how much heat do you guys put on a new engine for first time starting? I got it pretty hot, too hot to touch?
Try this
Pre heat the engine
Prime it excessively so that its almost flooded
Take the plug out
Pre heat it again
Bump it on the box so the fuel makes a fine mist out of the plug hole
Pre heat again
Put the carb slide at just above idle
Put plug in
Start it
Should start straight away !
