When it "locks up", does it go silent or do you hear the EZstart motor spinning? If that's the case, that it cranks then spins freely, you'll need to remove the one way bearing and clean it in denatured alcohol or rubbing alcohol.
It's a common problem after running so rich during break in.

No it goes silent then
i unlock it with a flat head.

Loosen the glow plug slightly before starting it. That will let off some of the compression and allow it to spin easier. When it starts, remove the ignitor and tighten down the plug.
