When its 30 degree F outside and its only the 3rd time the engine has ever been started you won't get a start unless you have a lot of fuel going to a very hot glow plug. Even a normal single-cell glow starter is/was not enough -- had to connect my power panel and run it up to maximum green to get the plug hot enough. But, one of the problems with that setup was the prop nut is only on the very end of the shaft and no spinner is available to "apply a little pressure". The engine started hard backward and when that happened I purposely moved away from the prop. I circled wide around the test stand and by the time I came up behind the engine to decrease the throttle she threw the prop. She did start backward the 1st time I lit her but quit and then started in the correct direction. I'm waiting on 1) warmer weather, and 2) the Tru-Turn adapter, before I continue my break in. I almost positive the cold weather is preventing me from getting a good start and with the minimal prop nut position I am very much afraid of this engine -- probably rightly so.

One thing I did notice when I ran it the 1st couple of times was that it has no sensitivity to further richening the needle. I'm lead to believe this is due to the Cline Regulator. I went so far as turning out the needle 3 or more turns out more and no effect -- I could have totally removed the needle and she would have continued that way. When I adjusted it the other direction she started to lean out when I had closed it down to about 3 1/2 turns out.
