It's Probaly just set really Rich......You can lean it just a Small amount or Turn the Idle Up a bit......To help it stay Running till it Gets warmed up then it should Stay Running........

it probly really rich like stated so start leaning............another little tip leave your glow ignitor on the motor for about 10 or 15 seconds the first time you start it up.......that way it stays on and warms up a little........it could save you alot of headaces

One time I had to cable tie my ignighter on for 3 minutes, driving around till it would run on its own. I figured it was old nitro, like it lost some of its methane and couldnt keep it lit...

New jug of gas and no problems once again!

Leave your ignitor in it. Put the truck on a stand, get someone to hold it and pull the trigger. Does it still die WITH the ignitor in it??
