Default About glow starters

I'm new to engines. Have ran about 3 tanks in my OS .46 AX. About these glow starters. I have a Hobbico one. Its charged up and
fires up the engine 1st time! After I run the tank out, I re-fueled and waited about 15 minutes to half hour. Fired it up again.
Adjusted the needle and ran lean and rich according to engine manual. Well, I started screwing around moving the throttle up and down
while moving the needle. Engine quit. Tried to re-start a bunch of times but the engine wouldn't kick over. How many times can the glow starter be used before it needs charging? Or, did I run too lean and heated up the engine and it just quit because of heat? Trying to get this adjusted so I can move the throttle so it don't bog....
