This is my first fuel powered buggy , ( i fly electric helis :) )
the thing is, at first i was not able to start it then i saw videos on youtube and learn the correct procedure to start it and it works , then i don't know how and when i thought after starting it the choke should be on vertical position ( thats the mistake that i did ), soon after what i did engine stoped and now its not starting :(..plz help guys i haven't run it yet.
 
Sounds flooded. Take the spark plug out and let it sit overnight make sure the piston is bottomed out so it can breath and evaporate the excess fuel.

If that doesn't work replace the spark plug and try again.

changing spark plug was the first thing that i did , 1 thing that i noticed that when i changed the plug and tried many pulls but when i removed it it was completely dry. its like no fuel in engine thats what i thought
 
If there isn't any fuel on the plug then you might have some gunk in the carb. Might have to take it off and make sure its flowing fuel.
 
Is there a kill switch fitted that needs turning off - maybe you knocked the switch on the tx without knowing??
 
check to make sure that your kill button is not stuck in the pushed in position. First time this happened to me, I almost took the entire engine apart.

Tip,

Put a small screw in the kill button (the red button) so it is easy to pull out as they tend to get stuck from dirt getting in there.
