FS won't start

[trainguy]

Hi, my FS racing MT 30cc stock motor won't start.

It started fine in January when it was 40 f outside, but now that it's 65-70 out it won't start.

I replaced the rear tie rod too, where I broke it pulling a home made flatbed trailer, doing doughnuts... trailer weighs 2.5 lbs.
If that has anything to do with it...

Do I need to retune it?
Any thing else instead?

Please help.
I need to run it today as it's going to rain tomorrow.

P.S. I've pulled the pullstart 100 times at least trying to start it.... lol.

I had it once where it ran fine then couldnt start it next time out. Tried new plug & everything but still no go. Turned out it the kill button was stuck part way in so it would av never started!! Squirted a bit of WD40 on it & pushed it in a few times to make sure it was free & had no trouble since. Was prob a bit of shite stuck in there. I was like you tho - arm like popeye :lol:

Check it out - its a simple fix & could well be the problem!

Fixed!

Turns out it was a zip-tie on the fuel line, that was holding the heat shield on had got too tight.
I cut it off, put a new one on (not as tight) and primed it, and it started right up
