The engine needs to be 'primed'. The RS will do the job, but, you need to put your finger over the exhaust stinger while you turn the RS, until you can see fuel going into the carb.
Personally I prefer the blowing tecnique. it is a lot quicker and you don't risk busting the One-way.

you could, if you wanted to buy a primer pump like this,

Have fun.

Check the exhaust for air leaks. The finger over the stinger trick has the same effect as blowing down the pipe.

What pipe are you running?

check for fuel line leaks by blowing in the fuel line and pluging the other end with your finger.
check for cracks in the fuel tank
