theres fuel on the spark plug? is this what you mean mate, im new to rc'ing.
how else would i check to see if fuel is getting through
Take the plug out and set it on the side of the head still hooked up. Pull over a few times.
Is there spark?
Yes, then flush the fuel out of the bottom end of the motor by tipping the model upside down and pull over about 15 times without the plug on. Dry the plug, reinstall and re try starting. Make sure you are not using the choke.
No, Try another plug - Any plug and set it on the side again and retry. If still no then you need to check the coil and see if it is gapped correctly or damaged.
Its flooding if the plug is wet. You may not have the settings just right to keep running.
