Default No Fire after installing Power Start

I have recently bought a Redcat Racing Earthquake ( Nitro )
I started my first tank of idling, got half the tank done then it quit, and so did my glow plug igniter...
That night i decided to take off the pull start and install the power starter i had bought ( redcat's power Starter ).
After I installed the power Starter, everything charged up and ready to go,,, Icould not get even a *bark * outta that engine.
I have tried everything, the motor won't fire, any help would be greatly appreciated,,, thanks !!
Iwas wondering if there is something to do with the backing plate, as far as compression go's for the motor or something ???
I also am not able to just crank down the 4 screws holding the backing plate ( power starter ) because the whole assembly binds and won't turn. So I have to back off on the four screws till it turns freely again
