Default RE: wont start

Check your glow plug. They usually die out within the break in period.

To do that just unscrew it from the engine block and plug it into your glow charger to see if the little coils inside light up.
If they don't it just means you'll need a new one.

Becareful though, those little coils get very hot so be sure not to touch them if it does happen to still work.

i would just change the plug, just because if glows doesnt mean it good.
