My first Gas Giant scale plane....

Well I'm finally to the stage where EVERYTHING is installed in my new Lanier Ultimate Pitts, and I was going to start up the engine and get it adjusted correctly before this weekend. After discovering that my normal starter just wasn't up to the task, I switched to a strong cordless drill! I primed the engine till gas was dripping out the carb, used the modified drill/starter, and turned the engine over for about 10 seconds....not even a hiccup from the engine. I pulled the sparkplug out, touched it to the body of the engine and turned the prop over quickly looking for a spark. I didn't see even a HINT of a spark.

This is a new standard G38 engine, and has never been started before. Can some of the gas experts give me a few steps to take to get this engine running? Do I need to get a new plug?

Thanks for your help
