Default Problems Starting My BB

I just got my BB a few weeks ago and Ive only ran one tank through it which was last week. I filled the tank up and tried starting it and it just wont start. Ive checked the glow plug and they seem fine. Only thing that seems wierd to me is that after trying to pull start it the engine isnt getting flooded. Any help will be appreciated.

How are your priming the engine?

sometimes it might look like the glow plug is glowing enough, but try replacing it to be sure.

Try this.

Take the fuel line off the carb, hold the lid open and blow into the line. The fuel should bubble up. If not the down-tube in the tank is bad/clogged. One of mine was bad out of the box. New tank and it was fine. To prime it, you can take the other line off the exhaust pipe and blow in it 'til you see fuel going to the carb. Also, you can put your finger over the end of the tail pipe and pull the starter a few times and then start it.

If no fuel is getting to the carb it's most likely a bad tank.
