Default Having trouble getting started, help please?

I have got a new hpi mt2 18ss+, i have checked the glow plug and returned the needle settings to the base positions
I think the problem is that th engine gets floode, i do not have an ehgine primer so i usually prime it by blowing through the pressure release tube.
Any suggetions that might get it up and running?
thanks

Try taking the exhaust off and starting it. I had one that came with a defective exhaust straight out of the box,. It did the same thing to me.

lean the lsn a little bit. or idle needle. What you should do is Hold the exhaust nipple with your finger and pull the pull start a couple times till it JUSt reaches the carb. the second it reaches the carb, stop priming. Get a fully charged glow igniter and you should be good. if it still doesnt start heat the head with a hair dryer and try to get it as hot as you can.
