if this is during break in you shouldn't be hitting the throttle right away, just leave the igniter on it til it warms up enough to stay running.
not sure about the newer ofna stuff, but back in the day there was a required bench break in for so many tanks of fuel.
make sure you check to make sure the needles are at factory settings/default cuz they aren't always what they should be from the factory.
the pinch n the ofna engines is very tight to start with and can be a headache out of the box, so it takes patience.
and that patience will pay off after break in.

it is probably too rich. also try a new glow plug. check idle adjustment. follow break in procedures, also if it hard too start loosen the glow plug to relieve some compression and it will start easier then tighten it back up after starts.
