Nitro roc car not starting

[99Chimaera]

Hi all,
I bought a nitro nitro roc car last winter and only got round to using it recently. When I used the car last time I managed to start it and took it to a local park and used it after a short while it was beginning to cut out. I took it home and put it away, today (3 weeks later) it will not start despite having a full tank and the igniter was fully charged.
I don't what is wrong with it the car is a HSP Camper.

I would be very grateful for any suggestions

Many thanks

Is it a pull start ic engine? Glow plug screwed in tight? Batteries charged?

Check needle settings.

Is the glow plug working.

Is the receiver pack charged.

Has nitro gummed up the carb.

Is your glow clip charged.

Are you priming the fuel system.

In what way was it cutting out, that could give us a clue.

Thanks for the replies,
yes the engine is a pull start type, the batteries are normal AA type rather than rechargeable and they were new when I used the car last time 4 weeks ago.
How do I prime the engine and how i check the carb for signs of coking up? The car was cutting out when it slowed down.
I am new to nitro cars having used tamiya electric models in the past. Sorry for more questions I am not mechanically minded.

Many thanks

Most likely to be non primed fuel or plug thats dead.

Prime by sticking finger over exhaust and turning engine over, the compression primes the fuel line, test the plug in the glow charger out of the engine.
