my savgae 25 L.E is having troubles starting the fuel just isnt going up the fuel line untill i plug the exhaust any tips?

yh, keep your finger over the exhaust .

Seriously, it is what is known as priming, you have to turn the engine over a few times with your finger over the exhaust, and no glow starter on, just untill the fuel reaches the carburettor and no air is left in fuel line. Dont do it after the air is out of the fuel line or you will flood the engine and experience hydrolock, then comes the broken pullstart/rotostart.

And if it does flood, which you can check by taking off the glow plug, turn it upside down and start it with out the glo starter without the glo plug.

Yep, just cover the exhast with a finger and spin the rotostart a couple of times until you see the fuel get to the carb. Then just put your glow starter on, take your finger offf the exhast and rotostart it until it starts.
