It's not that hard to tune. Have you put a few drops down the carb and make sure you about a 1 mm opening, take off the airfilter to check. If you haven't touched the needles factory settings and the glowplug is good it should fire up after a few pulls or. You can check your glowplug take it out of the engine plug it into the ignitor and it should glow almost instantly if it doesn't then replace. If you have a pull start and it's hard to pull you've flooded the engine take the plug out and drain the cylinder. It could even be your glow plug ignitor. There are other reasons it won't start either but there are alot of people in here that know all the different problems there are. And you can't just tune an engine once, weather changes,altitude, the more it gets broke in, we are all here to help each other, so ask away.

I will be honest here....you are going to have to learn to tune your rc...nitro engines tune changes with the weather....it would be a pain to have to have someone tune your car everytime the weather changes....alot of guys on this and other forums are here to help you....here is a pic that will help you atleast get you car running so you have a place to start...a person needs to be somewhat mechanicaly inclined to enjoy this hobby...there is routine maintanance and you will learn to make repairs...
