Default RE: KingTech K-80

Got a strange issue with my K80F, about 6 months ago i put her on the bench learned how to work everything and had 4 or 5 successful starts. Finally today I was ready to start it in the aircraft for the first time and when she finally went to start I got a hot start.
Hit it with the extinguisher and aborted the start. waited about 20 min and tried again same thing. I go to try a 3rd time and notice its hanging at 3000 RPM and ignition on for over a minute, I figure something is not right and abort the start .
I try one more time and the same thing she hangs there for over a minuite at 3k RPM and ignition on on the HDT. I dont remember taking so long and im afraid to damage something, any ideas? Im using a 4000MAH 7 cell NIMH on a Tamjets F16
