Default New to hobby and having some problems...

Hi- I just bought a Team Losi xxx-nt truck and for the life of me can't get it to start for more than about 10 seconds and then it dies. I'm sure its something I'm doing wrong, so heres what I've done and tried and if someone could help me out I'd appreciate it. I had it running and sitting idle just fine last week so I assumed that when I filled it up with gas yesterday that it would start right up. After messing with it for about 1.5 hours without much luck I quit and thought I better get some help.

1) on radio, then truck
2)Gas it up
3) High speed valve at 3.5 turns counterclockwise from closed as recommended
4) Low speed valve 3 turns counterclockwise " " "
5) insert fresh glow plug and insure igniter has fresh battery
6) put glow plug igniter in position
7) insert battery spin start
8) give it about 1/4 gas on remote (harder to start b/c its brand new/recommended you do this)
9) attempt to start
10) after not starting loosen glow plug 2 turns. spin start for 2 seconds. tighten glow plug and attempt to restart.

This is what I did and still not much luck. Am I having such a hard time because its only been run for maybe a half hour and still needs to be broken in or is there some adjustment or something I'm missing. Please help... Thanks!! Mike[]
