Well I went to break in my Lrp .32 the other day on my savage .....everything was connected correctly and what not......Long story short, I fired it up and had it idling for about a minute if that and then it died and every time it starts it won't idle I was messin with the idle screw but no luck......on a couple starts the engine was revving up on its own....throttle was 100% closed as well......not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if the engine is messed up........cause every video I see/ post I read....everyone's new motor always starts right up and just idles easily:\
I think I might take it into my dealer and have them help me but does anyone have any ideas? :(
 
Make sure the idle gap is set correctly, then lean the low speed needle just a tiny bit until it wants to idle. You should also check the plug to make sure it hasn't failed.
 
i just went to my dealer the other day and the owner helped me get it up and running....needles were just a little off, haha so it was me , but yea it runs awesome.....hopefully gonna finish the break in today if this damn rain stops! :(

Yes a sick glow plug had me chasing a tune when the weather got cooler. element wasn't broken but coating on element was cooked. always keep spares and i have a good one handy just to convienantly check the ignitor.
 
yea, i only have one right now, an r5........prb should get more....what kind should i get for the lrp?
in my 4.6 i ran 0.s 8 plugs and they ran pretty well.....
