I just purchased a brand new NTC3 +. This is a first time for me to encounter this problem during break-in. I charged up my Glow Plug starter and checked all the factory settings. Im using the Trinity 20% Nitro Fuel Break-In blend, and it starts up and idles fine... (with the Glow plug starter still attached). But once i remove the glow plug starter after approx. 30-45 seconds the engine would cut off. I double checked the glow plug, and also replaced glow plug with others, and the problem still occurs. Can anybody help me out, i tried almost everything i can think of. Thanks in advance.

bring the revs up a little idling too low is bad for your motor! what sort of temp has the motor got in it? give it a rev if its dying

Attempted to rev the motor, and problem still occurs even if i set the idle higher. Motor got pretty hot at one time, so i let it cool and made the fuel a little richer. It starts right up but as soon as i remove the glow plug starter, it still dies. How long should i keep the glow starter on the motor? Factory noted 20-30 sec. for break in or until motor is warm. Or maybe should i keep it there longer even if the motor is warm???

if it doesnt die with the glow plug starter on, leave it on and pick it up off the ground, slow accel and try to max it out off the ground slowly for just a few seconds. then see how it runs and take the plug out and see if it stays running. might help, seems to work sometimes on my maxx when its being a pos.

I think its too rich.....

ae_ntc3

either bottom end is too rich or your idle is too low so when you come back to idle it dies because the carb is closing too much

Sounds like its running either too rich, or you may be running too cold a plug.
Also make sure your fuel is fresh........dud fuel can have these symptoms too.

After four different glow plugs i finally got it to run like it should. Factory glow plug dont work and dont buy cheapo glow plugs. Used a hotter plug and it runs like a charm!!! Thank you all for your replies!

if you had to go to a hotter plug to make it run at an idle, your low speed needle setting is way too rich.
