Did you say you had planes last time?
If so here is the manual for an aircraft engine which has a good section on how to start such engines.

If it’s a pull start with a primer, prime the fuel until it reaches the engine. If there is no primer then put your finger over the exhaust and pull the pull start until the fuel reaches the engine.
If the pull start gets hard to pull you have too much fuel so loosen the glow plug half a turn and try again. Once the engine starts then use then tighten the glow plug back down.
Hope this helps
