Thanks to everyone that posted and pm'd me with help on getting my motor started (piston was getting stuck). I finally got it started and idled through the first tank last night. However, then, and now the motor will not stay running without the Glow ignitor attached. I've got the HSN about flush and the LSN is about 1.5 turns in from flush (info from page 78). I'm using OS P3 plugs, have the head wrapped, and have to keep hitting the motor with the heat gun to keep the temps up in the 240 - 250 range. Any ideas as to why the engine dies without the ignitor on?

Oh yea, I'm using Odonnells 30%.
I would try a new plug, and keep the heat gun nearby. I had to keep a heat gun on mine for the first six tanks. Best advice I can give is to be patient, the result is well worth it
