Either the engine is flooded, or it is not oiled. If it is flooded, take out the glow plug and pull the cord until all the fuel comes out. If it is a new engine and there is no fuel in it, spray after run oil in the glow plug hole and into the carberator.

If it's really hard, be careful not to bend your connecting rod.

Loosen your plug just a hair then leave your igniter on for about 15 seconds then give 10 prime pulls with the exhaust pluged with your finger and then try to start it.
