The Engine stalls about 1 or 2 seconds after I remove the glow plug igniter. I'm not sure if this means it's too lean or too rich.

It will also stall if I try to give it too much throttle while the igniter is still attached.

Any help is MUCH appreciated. I'm getting quite frustrated.

Usually too rich. Try leaning out a little and see if that helps.


This can also be other probs - I had one (FR18) that no matter what I did with needles it woulddn't run without igniter. Was a big airleak - this engine had a backplate gasket and 1/2 of it was gone. When I sealed it up, it ran like it was supposed to.

That is the most common sign of a spent plug.
Replace and all should be good.

I'm having the same problem in my menace. Stalls as soon as i remove the plug. i swapped plugs, but it still does it. Its also giving me a tough time just to start.

Too rich on the lsn.

Agree with Nitro Tiger Check the plug.

EDIT: is this a new engine or had it already been broken in?
