Does anyone know what it means when my engine shuts off when i remove the igniter???

I suspect the glow plug is not hot enough to burn a richened engine because this does not happen when I lean up the engine, however the engine is new so I do not want to run it too lean yet...

I have a .16 HSP Stormer...and it has run about 4-5 tanks.

Any input would be appreciated.
 
Its problay cold, Sometimes i let my ignitor in for like 10 seconds, i know its not good, but i heats the motor faster.
 
idle set too low I would say. I had loads of adjustments to do when breaking in my .18. Couldnt believe that a 75cc tank was empty in 5 minutes when started breaking it in...now that same tank lasts almost 25 minutes!
Either turn your idle screw in clockwise or open the carb a little by using the throttle trim on the radio.
