You need to unscrew the glow plug and put a couple drops of after run oil in it. If you don't have oil just unscrew the plug and pull the cord it should turn over freely and fuel should spurt out of the cooling head. Once you have the fuel out screw the plug back on and pull the starter cord, it should be freed up.
poo?

SWEEET i love nitro cars!!i used to race and still would but i cant drive myself to the place anymore.any ways the pullstart huh...it might just be flooded...idk i never had a pull start...if unflooding it doesnt work(to unflood take out the glowplug turn it upside down and pul the pull start...now that i think though your pullstart doesnt work...try anyway)if that doesnt work take the engine out, take the pullstart off and take the pullstart apart then rewind it after putting it together.if it stull doesnt wark you may have to buy a new starting mechanism...bump start is the best but it is expensive and im nat sure if they make it for the firestorm...maybe even just another pullstart.
good luck...i hope you get into racing as well.it expensive but hella-fun
