No it wont idle without the glow plug off.
You have to keep it on, the engine is up to temp but soon as you take it off it just dies.
The engine is very rich, so i leaned it out little bit but then it starts high revving like it's to lean.
It shows sign of air leak i think but everything is sealed up on the carb.
Everything is all brand new P/L - conrod - Front/rear bearing etc.
Just seens rather odd to me.
Also you say tht about 4 tanks but did you know in the manual reckons only takes 4tanks what laugh that is.
The P/L before took over half gallon to work until the god dam faulty rear bearings collapsed.
So Team Orion sent me all the gubins new FOC, but everything is fitted ready bt the bloody thing wont run right.
I've ran SIRIO for many years. never had issue ever.
I try diff manf just seens so different altogether.
Perhaps i've had it easy.
Will strip it down tomorrow & check everything inside see if any issue's too.
