Need some info on the symtoms its having. If the engine is hydrolocked take out the glow plug an bump it a few times in the starter box a to clear the cylinder then install the plug and try again, but without more info nobody will know what to tell you.

Empty the fuel tank......
Turn car up-side down and crank engine over to let excess fuel blow out......
Replace glow plug with a new one......
Make sure your glow plug igniter is fully charged......
See manual or see make and model of engine online for factory needle specs....
Make sure your fuel is new....
Check compression.....
TRY-AGAIN.........
