but what was not mentioned yet is if it is hydro locked, and it sounds like it is then do not continue to try to start it with the starter because you are right in that it is trying to compress the fuel in the cylinder and bad stuff happens from there. so by all means clear the fuel out. and it might not hurt to check the glow plug to make sure it is still working. i assume it is a new one and it should last a long time but i have had new ones go out after one flight. so get a good charge on the glow batt. have a good glow plug in there make sure its not flooded and open the needle valve 1 1/2 to 2 turns and it should start.
