Have you tried spraying starting fluid down the cylinder? Take out the spark plug, spray some starting fluid or gas down the hole and put the spark plug back in. if it starts and fires and then dies its a carb problem if it doesnt fire, youv probably got a ignition problem. does it have spark? how do the spark plugs look? do you know if its sucking any gas into the combustion chamber? like after you put it over for awhile take out the spark plugs and feel if there wet. it could just need new plugs, or the carb might need to be cleaned. Oh and btw, im also 16 and have a 440 panther. I LOVE IT! haha
