Default Can this make a engine easy to start?

Hey,someone told me when the engine is a pain to start put a very small squirt of methalated sprit or something called aero start.Since it is more explosive it will cause the engine to start easier?Is this true,because since our engines use gloeplugs not sprak plugs i dont think it will ignite as he is expecting.
Also what is the site calles that sells battery back something like batterypacks.com?

Hard starting is almost always too much fuel or too little fuel. A weak glow plug, charger or restricted air breather can also cause hard starting. If it is too little, dropping a couple of drops of fuel directly in the carb will get it started. I have what was advertised as a Yokomo 18 that does not like to start any other way. We have tried about everything imaginable as far as tuning. It runs excellent and starts easy hot, on a cold dry engine though, a couple of drops does wonders. Most of my engines, you prime to the carb and get fire within a couple of pulls. BB

When a nitro motor is hard to start it is either flooded or tuned wrong. I have posted these for you before and will do it again. Learn how to tune and your hard starting problems will go away:
