Diesel Bomber Still Not working...

Hi, I originally asked questions and posted previously called "Starting a Diesel for the First time Tips and for Breaking in"

At this point, I have bought a Cox 049 Diesel Bomber, with an 8x4 prop. The Bomber has a spring to help start.

I have created my own fuel mix about with ether/heptane (starting fluid from the gas station), castor oil, and some Cetane booster from the auto shop. The starting fluid contains about 30% ether, rest heptane (since heptane acts as the kerosene).

I began with the compression all the way out and the needle valve 3 turns out from closed and primed by adding drops into the side of the piston, while it is all the way up and then winding up the propeller and releasing. If it didnt start, I turned the compression in just a little and tried again. Every now and then I would re-prime the engine using the description above. In the end, the compression was all the way in and no starting. Even moved the needle valve to about 3 1/2 turns somewhere in there too but no start.

I did smell it ignite the fuel at a few compressions, but the engine did not start. I also tried moving the needle valve to closed while the compression screw was all the way in, but the engine still did not start.

In addition, I bought 40% nitro fuel and tried the same method (3 turns on the needle beginning with the compression all the way out) and no starting. This is because it was recommended on the Cox website.

The starter spring came out of its position too and had to keep putting it back. Tried using tape to hold it, but the fuel dissolved it!

If you have any tips to help me start this diesel I would appreciate it. It is a brand new engine and I would like to get it started.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I want to make sure that it is clear exactly what I am doing in case I am doing something wrong.

Appreciate the help in advance. I am very new to these engines so in your responses, please be very clear and explain things simply. I am still learning the terminology.

Thanks

From everything I have read about diesels, you flooded it when you primed it. I have been reading, but have never tried a diesel so find a grain of rock salt to take my summery with.

In the second half of this FAQ (below the table) it recommends bench testing by disconnecting the fuel tank, and priming with a "couple drops" of fuel in the intake, NOT the cylinder. It also says it is written for a .15 engine, so this isn't a lot of fuel, even less for a .049.

It should run briefly when you get the compression in the ball park, and after re-priming through the intake it should run briefly, again, without changing anything. Then the document says how to set the needle.

This isn't the only place I read to
* prime through the intake
* start with an empty tank or fuel line disconnected to verify or set compression
* diesel engines use about 1/2 the fuel as glow for a given displacement
it is just the only one I bookmarked...
