thanks for your input there guys......yeah my glow starter was fully charged so i guess thats not the problem. my engine is mounted upright and i did remove the glow plug a few times already and tipped the engine and there was fuel coming out when i turned the prop. i made adjustments after that to where the manual said the neeles should be. they said to ope n the high speed needle 2 to 3 turns and the idle needle is supposed to be flush. i tryed that too and i always get that dumb little sputter. i've also tryed putting some fuel directly in the carb maybe about 5 to 10 drops and not prime it after i'd have tipped and drained the fuel from the glow plug hole and still just the sputter. so i'm at my wits end with this thing.
