Have you primed the engine, good batteries in glow starter, replaced glow plug, set to factory settings, put small drops into carb rhwn try starting. Alot of things can make the engine not start. Start with the basics. Check your plug with the ignitor. If its a rechargable ignitor then you need to charge it for at least 1 day before using. How long was a little bit and did you start to break in the motor or did you just run it out of the box?

after you charge it, just to make sure try lighting the glow plug that is in your car. THen you will know for sure if the stock plug is bad or if the ignitor doesn't have a good enough charge.
