Default NEED HELP!!!!

I recently got my truck set up right and running good. I ran about 16 tanks through my x-cellerator and then I broke my throttle servo. Two days later, I bought a Futaba S3003. I made some adjustments so it would fit and got it in there. The servo works perfectly but now my truck won't start. I flooded the engine three times trying. I leaned it out and it still doesn't help. Glow plug is brand new and glow igniter is fine. I'm thinking it's my engine. What do I need to check to see if it's my piston and sleeve? I can't go to my LHS because of my schedule. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

What makes you think that you have a P/S problem ? Was your motor running poorly before the servo mishap? RED

My engine was running perfect before the servo mishap. I only think it could be my piston and sleeve because before i got the engine tuned properly my engine was running very lean and the guy at my LHS said that my piston and sleeve could be messed up. I got the engine tuned right and ran it rich and ran very good but now it's giving me problems.

Can you tell if the compression is good by turning the flywheel, does it make a thump sound when it comes off the top? RED

if its flooding, then that means your primeing it too much

The compression seems to be fine. The flywheel doesn't make any thump sound. I will lean it some more just have to wait for it to stop raining. Thanks for the help.

ok when you start the engine ask some one to help you prime it a little. then get he other person to hold the throttle open all the way and when the engine starts let of the throttle that helps me a lot
