Default Need Help REVO Won't start

Bought a REVO the other day from the local hobby shop. I did the breaking in process yesterday and completed the after run procedure last night. Today for some reason the truck won't start. I have cleared the engine after it flooded while attempting to start it several times and still the starter motor just spins. All batteries are fully charged and I even put in a new glow plug. I am running 20% fuel if that makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated as to where to look. After having so much fun yesterday it is killing me that this thing won't start up.

Thanks,

Xman

is the flywheel spinning when you crank the e-z start?
are you using a glow starter, or the wire from the e-z start?
if you are using the e-z start wire, trace the wires from the engine to the connector,and see if they are damaged.

Engine is spinning. I am using the ez start system as I don't have a glow starter. Unfortunately after reading another post while searching I removed the HSN and cleaned it but when I was replacing it I over tightened it and it broke off. So tomorrow I will be going to the LHS and buying a glow starter temp guage and carburetor body. Hopefully they are in stock cause this waiting is killing me. Maybe I need to buy a spare so that when one is down I can still be out driving.
