Default Starting the engine

Hi, I got my throttle unstuck today. Filled it up with gas and put a new glow plug in it. I hooked up the igniter from my 12 volt battery. I think its working - it gave alittle spark when I first touched the plug - How do you know if the igniter is working?? It wouldn't start - well wouldn't even flip, so I opened up the carb all the way - put my finger over it and drew up fuel for the carb - put it back to idle and put the igniter back on and it fliped this time everytime but didnt start - The prop makes about a turn or two but doesnt crank. Any suggestions on what to do now!!! - I have never cranked an engine before - well not since my homemade airboat made out of pine 18 years ago on a very long rope. It was fun though. Especially since I was about 10. LOL
