Default RE: OS 61 FX - Won't run without Glow Igniter

Thanks Pete. I didn't want to confuse people with the earlier personality of the engine but you asked about break-in.

I broke it in according to OS guidelines with about 3 tanks of gas. It ran then without this glow-igniter problem.

After break-in, I put the cowling on and proceded to do final idling settings. Then I started having problems. !st I had a pin hole in a gas line. Then I found I had the gas lines coneected wrong. I had iput from tank to needle valve and thne thru another outlet to the carb. The OS 61fx acutally allows you to put the needle value on either one of two locations. Anyhow, I corrected that problem then this glow thing started. Then I changed plugs, igniters, mufflers, tanks, lines, etc.

I will give the low-end a try. But what keepts bugging me that it ran furing break-in and now will run perfectly (or close) but only with the glow igniter attached.

Thanks for you contribution and I'll certainly let you know of the results.

Mike
