Default RE: OFFICIAL HPI RUSH / EVO THREAD

I picked up an old nitro rush on ebay for the hell of it for 35 bucks. Ive never been into land rc, just large boats.
Anyway, i dont know much about nitro engines, and this has the nitro star fe in it (which i realize is not the best engine) Anyuway i can't get it started. I have taken the whole thing apart, and the piston sleeve looks almost brand new and the piston itself has a little wear on one spot buit nothing horrific. There seems to be a moderate amount of compression, and the carb is getting nitro fuel and the ignitor is charged etc. Ive adjusted the carb to original factory specsa as far as i can tell.
What am i doing wrong?? I have been looking a little at new engines but was really hoping not to have to spend more money on it.
Is putting an OS Max engine in it easy, or do i have to change the clutch and evertyhing?
Thanks a lot
