ok the glow plug is located in the cylinder thing ( cooling head) it is threaded hope you have the wrench to take it out, and at the botom the thread is a little wire that goes across the little tiny hole that is suppose to glow if your plug is good if not then eighter your plug is shot or the glow ignitor or the so called rod thingy is not charged or the battery in it is dead and the ignitor has to lock into the top where the little nipple is on the glow plug :)[8D]

RE: help

Is the engine flooding? Did you prime the engine? There should be instructions in the manual for "starting the engine for the first time"
