Motor won't start after heat cycling *Resolved*

I did 3 20minute heat cycles today. When I went to start the 4th cycle the engine no longer wants to start.

I pulled the plug and verified it was creating a spark.
I looked inside the cumbustion chamber to make sure it wasn't flooded.
The exhaust is on tight.


I just installed a Super Bee and it's been working. The light on the superbee is Red, which as per the instructions indicates "Engine Killed Via Aux", only I didn't kill it (besides the led output is solid).

Any ideas?

My super bee gives me the red light when I first turn the radio gear on. Then I hit the 3rd channel button and it turns green. You just may need to hit the 3rd channel button every time you turn the truck on.

I have the same thing. This is after I hit the 3rd channel.

I'm going to try recharging the reciever battery and give it another go.
 
don't know bout the newer kb unit but the V1 unit i have, i have it hooked up to the pushbutton 3rd channel on radio, if button is on, light is green, button off the lights red. also found out its a lil finnicky on the lvl of batt power Rx batt has, if it is low it wont go green, after i recharged the rx pack i had no issues.
 
*Update*

I still can't get it started, even after charging the receiver battery up.

I'm at a loss folks.
 
*another update*

I unplugged the clear fuel line to the carb, emptied the bulb, cranked it a few times and whaddya know, it fired. The engine was getting too much gas.

I appreciate the input guys. :)

Sounds like you may need to check the settings of the carb.
1 1/4 LOW, 1 3/8 HIGH.

Generally new and standard engines find these settings a little rich.

That's a good idea. I originally started with those settings and she ran well. I'll go back and double check it.
