Check to make sure you put the conn rod in the proper way.

Pour like half a teaspoon full of fuel into the carb and try to start it. How does your glow plug look?

ive tried that. and also my glow plug is good. ive tried like 3 different ones that all work. ive even tried using a glow ignitor instead of the ez start wire thing. i think i am just gonna take it off and use it as parts. the piston is brown on top if that helps

Did you check your fuel system for a leak? Clean you're OWB. Maybe the hsn needle is loose. Is there an airleak? Is the fuel fresh?
