Default cutting out???

ok i took my car out for a run after a little over a month of a break.
put some fuel in and then start it. Right away i notice it sound awkward so i try to tune it for a good amount of time. I felt the head and it was cool. So then i put a hotter glowplug in it and lean it out a bit. It would sumtimes cut out after i take the ignitor out and sometimes i could drive it around for a few seconds then it cuts out. I could drive it even longer with the ignitor on. Despite the changes i made(rich lean cold or hot glow plugs.) I bought some fresh fuel and it idles better now and sounds better. ...but that didnt fix the cutting out problem. My glow ignitor ran out of power so i cant try no more. Any idea what is the problem? Rb v12 3 port 20% trinity fuel.

At what point does it cut out? When it is idle? Or when you try to rev it? What does the engine sound like before it cuts out?

sometimes when i rev it sometimes right after i take the glow ignitor out and sometimes at idle.... It would cut out. It jus dies not sure if the sound changes much right before maybe a little bit lower of a noise . It was running notcable rich b4 so i leaned it out. I'll try again today to give more accurate results.

it cuts out only at idle genrally a few seconds after i take the glow ignitor out. When revving in it a little bit its ok but 1 bleep at WOT or even mid way it cuts out. Kinda makes a gurgle right before it does i think its to rich? Ive been leaning it out little by little as i type...
