I am having an issue with an SH .28, it will start nicely, and soon as I take off the heater it dies. I have tried two new glow plugs and I have new fuel. ANy suggestions??

Could be too rich or too cold a plug.

If you are outside you may have to leave the glow heater on it longer

G'day That is a classic symptom of fuel which has picked up water. Try some fresh fuel. It is the easiest thing to do. If the engine was running well before then before you go disturbing the settings, a test with some new fuel is the safest thing to try. Cheers. Mike
