Default Engine Won't Start

I am having trouble getting my engine started. I ran it ealry one morning withut any trouble. When I was done I let it cool off, put another tank of fuel in, and triewd to get it to start, but nothing happened.OH BTW, I have a Tower Hobbies .15 Buggy Engine. I replaced the plug, glow plug heater is hot, the fuel is new, and tried to start it for half hour. I am at a loss to figure out what is wrong with it. It sounds like it is running when I use my sttarter on it and the head also gets hot like it ould after a run it for a couple of minutes. PLease Help me.

Is it in a buggy or do you have a prop on the front?

Where is the needle valve set? Make sure you are running it rich to start. What fuel are you using?

Give us a little more info on it and we will try to help.
