Hi Funtana! Welcome to RCU!
I'm assuming you're new to this... I'll try to help as much as possible.
First things first - Make sure the high speed needle is set. Try closing it all the way(turn clockwise until it stops-don't force it), then open it(turn counterclockwise) two full turns.
You may have to prime it before starting by placing a finger over the carb opening at full throttle, and turning the prop several times to draw fuel into the carb(watch the fuel tubing - you'll see fuel go up to the carb as you flip the prop).
Double check your glo ignitor/battery... Should start.

If it will start, but then quits as you throttle up, it could be the idle adjustment. Try richening the idle(not the high speed) screw by about 1/8 of a turn, and try again. You may have to repeat this until the motor will transition from idle to full without hesitating. Adjust, run, adjust, run, etc, etc...

These engines should be "broken in" before you try to fly them, in order to seat all the moving parts. Check the instruction book or website for their reccomendation for this...


By the way, all CAPS is considered "shouting" on these forums.
