Hi guys,

I figure I'll post here since I'm a "newbie" when it comes to glow.
I've been flying a while now (electric), and have even converted a SkyRaider Mach II and flew it well.

Most of the ppl here flow glow, so here I am.

I have a Saito 150 on my Sig Mayhem 3D, set up per instructions / manual. Today I was firing up the motor in anticipation of flying the thing tomorrow.

At first it fires fine, but I didn't remove the glow starter for a while, and then when I restarted it, the motor wouldn't start. I figure this is probably because of the glow starter battery died. I charged it for 1-2 hrs, and later it fires once, but when I advance the throttle, it died again and wouldn't start up again.

I am thinking that's because the starter battery died because I don't even get much any sputtering at all.

I guess my guestion is this:

How do you diagnose the different causes for motor not starting?
1. glow starter dead?
2. engine flooded?
3. engine not getting enough fuel?
4. need to change glow plug?
??? any other causes???

Thanks
Josh
