Default RS4 EVO ENGINE PROBLEMS

I'm new to HPI. I have the RS4 3 EVO+. I already did the break in, ran about a quart of O'Donnell 20% thru so far. The car sat for about a month without running. Now when i try to run the car, if i take off the glow starter it will stall. I changed the glow plug(R5) and put after run in it after i ran it last, i did remove all the fuel also. It just won't run without the glow starter on it. Anybody? Help??

It ran perfect during break in. I don't understand what happened. Idle's fine. Any suggestion.

It may be you're running too rich. When the glow igniter is taken out, there is too much fuel for the plug to burn.
Try leaning it out a little.

Lolzpl0x, you can always reset the needles to factory you know. The HSN and LSN are flush if you are runnign stock engine.

I really don't know I haven't adjusted the carb at all not even after break in. I guess i will try to lean it out a little and if not go back to square 1 and put it back to break in specs if it isn't already and try this weekend one more time. thanx
