Default engine trouble

I understand that most people including me don't have much experience with the os 30 wankel, but if you do I would really appreciate help. I recently bought the engine and after a only a couple minutes of running it I hooked the electric starter leads on backwards and turned the engine over. Afterwards it would only start within a couple degrees of half throttle and it would seem to be extrmely lean because it would start to slow down and then stall after only five seconds of running, also the motor will be to hot to touch after just a few seconds of running after a cold start. It is not lean however because it does blow gas and oil out of the exuast. I am thinking that maybe it is a glowplug that is to hot and detonating the fuel to early. I understand that no one will reply to this post do to the situation but if anyone has had experience with these engines I would appreciate a reply from you.
