I can not get my buggy to start i just tore down the entire motor and carb and cleaned it but still nothing but its getting more compression. I'm also not seeing the fuel pull through the hose and into the carb is this normal? Lastly is it possible that my glow plug is still bad even if it glows when tested? Also does anyone kno where I can get the bolt that tightens the carb it got bent and snapped off when I was trying to put the nut back on
 
So i think you have a nitro!?!? i just re-read your other post!! check your Low and high speed needles!! and check your idle screw! to me it sounds like your not getting any air into the carb, my 2 cents would be in the idle screw!! hows your one-way bearing?? what kind of buggy do you have??

If it's not getting fuel when you try to prime it, You either have bad fuel lines or your tank isn't sealing properly.

When you test the glow plug, the entire coil should turn a bright cherry red. If it doesn't, replace it.

Check the exhaust gaskets and tank seal.

Pull the hose off the exhaust and blow into it...listen for leaks.

It should pressurize the tank and push fuel into the carb.

When I had trouble with nitro, usually prime the heck out of it...to flood it.

Then pull the plug, turn it upside down, crank it to clear it...

Put plug back in and it would start.

What type of glow plug starter is it? a e-z start wand or a battery clip on?
 
I think I might have put the rubber connector on the exhaust on backwards would that matter? It feels like a better fit now that I changed it now I just gotta find a couple more zip ties.
