Thanks again for your help.
Put it in a sturdy engine stand. Set the high needle 4-5 turns out. Use 20% oil and 0% nitro, 5% if the 0% is not available. The oil should be at least 20% castor, 50% is better. Add castor if necessary. With the glow plug drive disconnected, open the throttle all the way, plug the air inlet, turn the prop a few times. Then put the throttle to 1/4. Connect the glow plug driver and flip it backwards (but not all the way through the compression stroke!!!). Should start 1st or 2nd flip. Set the high speed needle so the engine is running at 6500 RPM at full throttle. Run it for 3-4 minutes. Shut it off and let it cool down for 15-20 minutes. Start it and do the same thing about 10 times (take your time and do it in two or three days). After that's done you can lean it out but keep it a little rich for the first 5 gallons. I did this and the thing runs just awesome.
Maybe someone else can tell us what peak RPM range to prop it for on the ground. The 1.80 is 7600-8800.
