If you have to prime to start. Ignition probably ok. Disconnect fuel line at carb and see that you have good fuel flow into a can. Make sure fuel shut of is in ON position. If flow is limited, loosen gas cap. Gas cap is supposed to be vented, many are clogged or poorly vented.
Second, check carb, float level and fuel inlet valve. Goto www.modela.org for help.
