Default RE: Alpha trainer .40 by Hanger 9

take out glow plug. put ignitor on plug and see if it glows. If yes, all is OK there. If not, either plug is bad (should have told you to buy spares or ignitor is weak and needs more charging. When ignitors are new they are shipped uncharged and need at least overnight charge and prefer 18 hrs. After that overnight is OK when they run down. Same is true with your radios. Hard to overcharge as long as you follow instructions that come with equipment and use supplied chargers. If you use aftermarket chargers, well - that's another story. While plug is out and with fuel line off carb crank the motor over a few times, this will get rid of any excess fuel. Reset the needle valve to where it was originally was and try again, with plug in of course. This is hard to do from so far away. I have to leave in a couple of minutes and won't be back til Monday. Good luck. Hopefully someone else can help you from here today.
