Another tip, if you are not doing it. Back the prop up so that the start can get ahead start at turning over the engine. If it is a new engine and you are in a cold climate (I consider NJ a cold climate), things are pretty tight in there. Even the best of starters have a hard time starting to spin if the engine is up against its compression.

Some folks go so far as to heat up the engine (use a gas torch to get it warm not hot) on the first couple of runs to expand things and loosen it up a bit. After she has run a bit, things will loosen up, wear in, break in so to speak.

Do all those other things recommended, especially the removal of the glow plug and turning the engine over quickly to make sure excess fuel is expelled. You don't want hydraulic lock and a broken connecting rod or worse a bent one.

Cheers,
