Thanks for the advice guys as well as the pre flight check.

Today I tried to start the engine with no luck.

I used two D batteries in an old flashlight housing I configured. I did confirm voltage at the wires I am assuming the pos goes to the tip of the glow plug, and the neg goes to the body under the tip?

Also I turned the prop counter clockwise to start using the spring, as in after winding with the spring, and releasing the prop the prop spun counter cw.



Here is the fuel I'm using, and it is getting to the engine [which is why I took the engine out of the plane to verify this].


So, why isn't it starting? FTR, I'm an auto mechanic, and pretty much a jack of all trades so this should be simple...........right?
