Yes, I haven't been able to keep it running at all. I usually have to start the savage with almost half throttle. Once I get it running, it runs for around 15 seconds then dies. I tried adjusting the throttle down closer to idle, but it instantly dies when I do that.

Also, after I start it, when I take the glow plug igniter off the glow plug the engine has a noticeable drop in....ummm....liveliness (can't think of a better word lol). It still runs after that for around 10 seconds or so.
