Once the engine starts, keep the glow plug heated and get the truck moving around to clear the engine out and get it to warm up some. Once it sounds stable, pull the glow driver and start tuning it in. If it quits after you pull the glow driver, lean the low speed another 1/8 turn or so and try it again.
ok i will get to it thank you!
