You may as well do it yourself man. These nitro engines require some form of maintenance almost EVERY time you run it. If you take it to the LHS for every little thing, then you will spend more time at the LHS than you will running it. I dont think your problem is that serious. Check your glo plug, make sure its primed right, make sure its not flooded. If its still spitting fuel out the exhaust while yer trying to start it then its too rich. When you pull the starter is it turning over or slipping? Check the oneway bearing. These are all common things you'll do nearly every day you run Nitro. Remember, we ALL starterd somewhere.

Matt,
I'm wondering if he remembered to mark all the factory settings on the engine when he first opened the box.
Wouldn't it be easier in this situation to go back to factory settings, then run the engine, and lean or richen up from that point after checking, (Glow, and the one way bearing?)
