take the plug out of the engine, connect your glow ignighter, if all the oils don't light up evenly then your glow plug is weak or dead.

As far as after run oil..... pretty much any type of automatic transmission fluid will work. If you can find marvel Mystery oil it will work also.

S&W hobby will ship there fuel. Its a very good fuel and they will mix it anyway you want it. http://www.s-whobby.com

I think tower hobby has kyosho stuff and they will ship anywhere.

Check the servo arm and linkage and make sure it is opening up the carb. Check the carb and make sure nothing is blocking air flow. Check the entire engine and carb for leaks or cracks. It really sounds like a radio/servo type of a problem but check the engine to be sure....also check the gas tank and lines to make sure there are no holes that could leak pressure.

yeah something must be blocking fuel, take your engine and carb apart and clean it out really well....you'll find the problem.
