Got my Tornado last week ... Ran it one day (Break in - Followed to the T) ... No issues ... Got it out today and it will not start! Seems like it is not getting fuel? I pull and pull and the fuel does not seem to be moving (tube is empty)? What is wrong???

Have you replaced the glow plug, charged your ignitor and tried priming the engine through the carb also check to make sure your carb has about a 1 mm gap it should fire if thats all done.

You may also want to make sure the lid on the fuel tank is sealing completely.
Also, when you first start cranking the engine plug the exhaust (for just a couple of pulls), this will force fuel up the fuel line.

try taking off the line that attaches to the exhaust and blow into it....you should see the fuel move....if you dont start working your way forward until you find your leak...make sure your gas cap is pushed down and sealed.. I am saying this in assumption that you tried covering the exhaust exit and pulled on the pull start a few times to prime it..

First off did you use after run oil when you were done running it? Second are you putting your finger over the stinger when you pull the cord to prime the engine?

like others said, hold your thumb over the exhaust outlet and pull it till you see the fuel line fill up. two or three pulls and it should be there and will fire right up.
