Brand new engine but will only start 1nce and then if it shuts off it wont restart it says to leave the needles as rich as possible then lean it out a little at a time to break it in.Thae engine is a team orion.18 wasp engine i have no clue whats wrong with it....

And somthing is wrong wit my rechargeable battery starter it will only keep a charge for like 1 time use then it will die reallly fast....

Whats wrong any sugggestions or ideas?
 
In a brand new engine, the break in is not always smooth. You may find that it takes a bit to get it going the first few times. You may also find that it is not so easy to keep it going (especially in the cold of the North).

As for the electronic starter, is this a starter box or an EZ Start system we are talking about? Either way, one more reason to love the pull start.
:D
 
If your glo-ignitor is not holding a charge for very long, then perhaps you have killed the battery pack.

You may try a new battery for it.

Other than that, check the usual suspects: Glo-plug, fuel getting to the carb, engine not too cold, etc.

But, until it gets broken in all the way, expect there to be all kinds of quirky issues. Stubborn to start is high on that list of quirky issues.
