Default RE: Startup Questions, Gas CAT

Thanks Dan.

I found a broken wire connection on the radio. The local hobby shop guy told me it was old Airotronics, obsolete. I installed a new radio and servos and new fuel line. I set the throttle linkage to full closed when the controller is hands free. I haven't located the NGK plug yet. I primed fuel into the carb bulb. I yanked and yanked and no start. I pulled the plug and verified spark. Yanked on it until my sholder was on fire and motor mounts were loose. Iput my thumb over the carb to choke. My thumb was wet with fuel. I even shot a little starter fluid into it. I'm not sure where to go from here. The boat has set up for a while. Maybe I should take the carb apart and clean, new plug? It has plenty of compression.
