The first time you started it in your temptress (after getting it back from Hobby Services)only took three flips. The second time took 100 flips to get it going. Something is different from when you received it from Hobby services to when you started it the second time in the plane.

Running the carb dry or having the needles too lean to draw fuel on choke? I'd have to say you were not getting a prime. They put prime bulbs on some lawn mowers and weed wackers for a reason. The choke plate with the hole in it doesn't allow all engines to prime well.

Take the cowl off, fuel it, set the choke and see if the fuel line fills with gas after you flip it or rock it 10 times. If it doesn't you have figured out the problem. Block the hole in the choke plate and try again. If it still won't prime mount it on the bench, stuff your thumb over the carb and see if it will prime.

Where is the little smiley beating it's head against a brick wall when you need it?

What oil are you using?
