if it ran before and not now you should try to check the glow plug or just change it, its common for a glow plug to go bad during break it, i would suggest using an os a3 hot plug.

i would change the plug, 1 1/2 sounds too lean to me. the a3 is the hottest plug, the a5 is med/cold and i didnt know they made an a4 but the lower the number the hotter the plug.

the red is hot, yellow is med and probably close to the a5. i am not sure about the other ones, the lower the number the hotter the plug if they have numbers. i like os and pretty much run them or novarossi. i am glad you got it going.
