Default Help! engine problem?

Hello,

I have a hanger 9 alpha trainer with the evolution engine and it was flown a few times last year during my instructions, then I had to move to texas and I stored it for 6 months, I put marvel mystery oil in it the porotect the engine. I just got it back out and fueled it up and Fired it up it will run fine at high rpms but will not idle or even mid range, just starts spittting and dies[:@]....... but if I leave the glow plug on it purs like a kitten, Idled fine and was snappy with the throttle, but once I removed the glow plug, bla.....bla.......blaaaaa..........dead. the only way to keep it running without the plug was to throttle it way up?????? What is the deal. I put a new plug in it less than 2 flights ago, I pulled the plug and test to see if it would glow seemed fine.

Any advise would be great! I would like to hook up with an instructor to get back in the air but I can't start with a wounded bird....

thanks Michael!
