Default Having a problem with a Thunder Tiger Gp42

This engine is new to me. When I first got it, it actually ran pretty good, but went downhill for somereason. Now, I can get it to start, but dies shortly after. It dies even with the glow starter on it. It acts like its too rich, in my opinion. I checked all my fuel lines, no problems there. I took out the glow plug, and it lights, but the fillament looks like it is a little deformed. Could this cause the problem? I wouldnt think so, but I dont know much either. Also, should this thing have a idle bar on the glow plug, or no? It has one on it now, but the one tower hobbies shows for it, has no idle bar. I honestly dont know what the purpose is. I'd appreciate any help guys. thanks!
