GXR-15 problems(newb neeh help)
I got the engine to start once for about 3-4 minutes then I turned the throttle trim on my radio and it stalled and cut off. I can't start it anymore. I need some help so I have a few questions.
I already primed it and checked the glow plug and checked to see if the carb was flooded and it is not.What do I do now?
I have the manual with the settings but when I set it I have some problems.My first question is how do you know when the needle valve or (high end fuel/air mixture) is closed? When I turn it clock wise it continues to turn clockwise. It seems to never stop so I can't tell when it is closed. After about 6 full rotation I still don't feel resistance.
My next one is how do you know when the carb is flooded? I was told if the string is hard to pull then its flooded.
My next question is I can't tell if fuel is reaching the carb. My tank has a primer button on it but when I press it the fuel does not seem to be going to the tank. How do I fix this?
If I missed anything could you please tell me what to do or if you have had previous experience with this engine tell me your settings.

Prime the engine by placing a finger over the exhaust stinger and pulling the pullstart a few times. You will see fuel travel to the carb and you may hear it in the carb as well. Place the igniter on and pull the throttle open a bit.(By the radio*) Then crank the engine over until it starts.
