Default Getting frusterated

Ok so i have a version of the Volcano SV. Its not a red cat but it has the same motor and stuff.

Anyways i am having trouble getting it started and about to just give up. I have been waiting along time to get a nitro car and now i cant even play with the thing. I didnt and dont think it should be this hard to get started. I have went through all the FAQ's and stuff on how to get it started. And the only way i can start it is basically by flooding it and getting a bunch of fuel in the carb then it starts and it revs really fast even with the throttle closed to idle, so fast it makes the tires ballon out. The glow plug is fine i pulled it out and stuck it on the glow charger and it lit up like it is supposed to. Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong? I have ordered the electric start maybe that will help i dont know. Sometimes it will start but only for a second then it dies.

Things i have tried...
I have warmed the engine with a hair dryer
Unscrewed the glow plug a turn
I have closed both needles and did the 3 turn on the high needle and 2 turns on the low needle, which is what my instructions said to do. And nothing i just keep pulling and pulling and getting these darn blisters. After i do that for a min or so i richen the needles and still nothing.

Like i said the only way i can get it started is to blow in the exaust fuel line to force gas in the engine. But that make it rev way to high and it just keeps going until i shut it off. Which is pretty soon after.

So any suggestions?

Thanks
