the glow plug is at the middle of the engine. U would see a kind of thing sticking out. In order to start it, u will have to use the glow plug igniter.

Hi there, tahnks for ur reply...I got tat aready...but is there any requirments for the glow plug? As i m currently usin my heli's extra glow plug and also the igniter...When the insert the glow plug fully into the middle of the engine...the engine kind of problems being pulled..Its like stuck...Reali sorry for all thr troubles...

LOL ok..

stuck?
hmm...

I got that problem last time... I just leave it for a few while, then try to pull it a few times - without the igniter - just to make sure its not stuck. then after a few times pulling, i place the igniter.. and viola! it start..

This is maybe ur engine is flooded.

you can use a OS A8 plug. By default that will work. As for not being able to pull, its actually normal. A brand new engine is normally tight as its not run in. with the plug screwed in, it creates a vaccum which increases the compression within the crank case.

1 good way is to not tighten it all the way tight. take for example, now you have it tight. Release it from this position by 1/8 or 1/4 of a turn. then try to start the engine from this position. But after 1 tank, please remember to tighten it back. normally, after 1 tank, its easier to pull to start the engine.

dun continue in that tight position. else you may break the pull starter

so where is the smoke coming from? if that is the case, somewhere there is a leak. and please DO NOT touch the needles till you are done with the breaking in
