I checked the glow plug and pjt a brand new one and no luck on some point you I was able to run the boxe on the flying wheel for a couple of seconds but no fire, the you hear like was ready to start with a bump on the box but nothing happen.
Any advice to solve this matter will be appreciated
Thanks.
check and make sure your battery for the box and glow ign is
fully charged.also if the weather chaged much,you may have to move the H/S needle vavle some. newer motors can be a pain to start the first few cycles but be patient.small bumps are usually needed to get the motor to "POP" on the compr stroke.good luck and take your time,it will be well worth it.
