Default os18 starting issues

i have a 1st gen rs4 that i recently upgraded to an os18 motor. i got it started enough to run two tanks through to break it in, and today i got it started to run a third into, then when i tried to start it again the pull starter was very hard to pull at all and i couldnt get it started again. any input is greatly appreciated.
thanks
motor is brand new out of box.

you engine is problaby flooded... take the glow plug out and pull the starter(fuel should spit out of the plughole). and screw the plug back.

if its still hard to pull. loosen the plug a little. and when it starts thighten it ....
