Hi,
I've just completed my first IC model and cannot get the engine (MDS 40) to fire up. The engine has fired up in the past but since then I have trield everything to no avail. I have removed the cylinder head to ensured that ther is no fuel still in there and confirm that the piston is moving freely, and checked that the glowplug is still heating ok. The problem is when I try to start it, it won't start without an electric starter, and when an electric starter is used it just spits the fuel out the carb, again without starting the engine. I am tending to think that the carb is blocked but are unsure how to clear it. If anyone has any other ideas or advice on clearing the carb it would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Al
