Default Force .26 engine on Violator

Ok I did get my 9.5 Violator in and I finally took it out tonight to break it in. It was about 35 degrees out and I also took my 1/10 scale out. It seemed my 1/10 scale which usually fires right up took forever to start and after going through a battery of my roto start on my .26 on the violator, it didn't even begin to fire. Another weird thing is that there was no gas coming out the stinger even though I flooded it. Is this normal? I know the glow plug was glowing because I tested it. The glow plugs coils were glowing bright except for the last coil that attaches to the side of the glow plug. Also it came with two washers, do I use both? We felt the air filter and it seemed it was wet, is there a way the gas could've been coming out through the air filter. I mean we primed it and then cranked and cranked on it until the battery was dead in the rotostart and it didn't even begin to run once. Just looking for some tips. I'm going to try again tomorrow and it's supposed to be 60 here so maybe that will help.
