Glow Plug. Tighten down the head or check if any scews are loose on the head. Than what I do is I pull off all of the fuel lines and plug one end and blow into the other check for loss of pressure. If None than no leak. Than unplug and blow it should go. If no dice than try to tighten down your carb it somtimes comes lose. maybe re-seal you engine or just general loss of compression. How much fuel has gone though it already?

The first thing you should look at is the battery in the glow plug ignitor. Then check the glow plug and then start checking the carb and fuel settings.

Found this on the XtremeRC website. It's very rudimentary, but it covers the major problem areas:
