new engine trouble

[Flap]

It started just fine but when I remove the glow igniter it dies. Changed glow plug and let it warm up some but it still dies. Can someone help?

Have you checked your glow plug?

 

[Flap]

Yes, it takes a turbo plug and it checked good with the igniter, I also checked a new glow plug and put it in.

If my tmaxx is cold it does the same thing some times. I do a couple slow and small circles in front of me to get it warm. Then when I grab my ignitor I give enough throttle to increase the idle with put moving. As I grab the igniter I give throttle and let it take off when I remove it. It always works for me. Hope it helps

yup let it warm up just like tmaxxnoob said.. just dont leave it on too long because it will have a chance of ruining the igniter if left on too long. but yeah where you keep it might keep the motor alot cooler than you expect it to be..

Thanks guys, I was thinking the same but I put the temp guage on it the last try 138 degrees. When I get time I will preheat it, another 103 degree day here in oklahoma so I'll just set it in the sun lol.

that might do it.. let us know what you figure out.

Finally got time to get back to break in, put a new clutch in it and 30% fuel. Preheated it in the sun and it didn't give me any trouble. I run a half gallon thru it yesterday and put a good tune on it this morning. This engine is an (old stock) Novarossi 528XR maufactured in 2007 and is just stupid fast in my LST2.
