3rd tank is a little early to start leaning out, but you can if you want. When you adjust you needle settings picture the face of a clock around the screw and turn 1 hour at a time untill you get desired result. Try not to touch low speed needle until you have completed break-in, and have you HSN set pretty well.

Also keep checking your glow plug, it can go bad and you try everything else but that.

Usually it will not start up or after you take the glow ignitor off it dies. I think you are still rich. I would do what was posted about about the clock and hours and maybe lean it out about 1 or 2 hours at the most at this time while breaking in.

That is sort of a loaded question. Some say no way and some do. I do it and never had a problem. I am not waisting my fuel LOL!
