Default RE: Beginner Engine Help!

DarZeelon,
Thank you for your reply. When I first got the plane around 2005 the engine started up fine but would stall upon take-off. It happened twice and I got frustrated and put it back in the box. Now I decided to open the box back up and I changed the glow plug and fired it up and it ran fine and I let it run for about 5 minutes (with 2 turns on the HSN). I could see a lot of smoke which lead me to believe it was running rich. After that I tried starting it the next weekend and couldn't get it to run and started noticing the freeze at TDC.
