New MGT can't seem to keep running

[stavman]

Ok got it running but can't seem to keep it running. Messed with idle just short of wheels turning, backed off the 1/8 turn to lean it out but still wont stay running for too long. Even changed glow plug, thought it helped but then started same thing. Dosent seem to be any bubbles in line.

Any hints.

Should I just idle it in the first few tanks or kind slow throttle up and down to break it in, once I can keep it running that is

Thanks

from the sound of things, it looks like you're breaking it in. if that's true, then everything you are going through is totally normal. the car won't want to stay running and all of the other stuff associated with it. don't worry about it and get through the break-in, that's when the real fun begins !!

SO this is normal, ahhhh so just keep trying, let cool, try, etc etc etc... SHould I slowly rev up and down or just try and idle it, wanna make sure I do it right

Thanks Nitro

I had some issues with my MGT but mine went fine through in break in. I did notice that on another MGT the Needles were not set correctly as in the manual. Also you need to use a long plug . the manual I had said to use a shorty. Go figure. Let me know how it turns out.
