Hello people...

I'm from denmark so my english isnt the best :)..

I have recently recieved a Acme Condor pro from the Nitrotek company based in UK.

And I'm having big problems getting the engine to start.

First time i started it, i got it to run, adjusted the needles etc, the caburator and so on, and i let it idle for like 3 4 tanks, before i even ran it, but i would say after 1 or 2 tanks where i ran with it, ( not full speed ) it suddenly stops, and since then i havent been able to start it again...

I then took some time to take the engine apart, pulling glowplugs out, simply removing the engine from the bottom plate, and when i pull the string, it gives me the blow noise which comes out of the exhaust pipe, and there is no broken noise at all, so I'm thinking it can't possible the engine, except for the glowplug ??? what do you guys think ?...

yes i would befinatley replace the glow plug i becuase there only good for the break in so replace it with a new one and also make sure its not running to lean
 
aha i see. its just wierd cause when i tighthen up the glowplug, it gets hard to pull the starter string... but when i loosen the plug it gets easier to pull... what can be wrong :S ? the shop first opens at 15.00cet so I'm going there to get the new plugs.. the shop itself got stupid opening times :) to bad
 
Sometimes with new engines you actually have to crack (open) the glow plug slightly to aid the starting due to high compression I've heard.
