Default Just ran my new Ravager But sometinng is messed up....

Ran the 1st tank fine. Brought it back in and filled it up after cool down and no luck starting it? I then changed the glow plug but no luck there either. I let it sit for a minute longer the tried again, the engine fired but stopped, pulled again, fired, then stopped. I did notice a clicking sound from the starter pull when it stopped. Do you guys think something is getting caught up in the pull starter??? Thanks

Let it cool down completely and give it another shot... you may be experiencing "vapor lock" when the carb gets heat-soaked and basically vaporizes the fuel inside(and so it just kind of sits there and doesn't do much, no fuel in engine = no start).

Is your idle screw a little too low possibly? Maybe try leaning out the LSN just 1 hour or so and see if it stays running.

when you are about to fire it again make sure the fuel goes to the carb when priming no more

Ensure that you prime the engine with fuel then try to yank the pull start. Once you get the engine going, richen a bit your HSN, then run the buggy. Don't worry about the clicking sound on the pull start whenever you yank the engine.
