OK. Truck was running great. Let it sit for a couple of days and yesterday I put some new fuel line on it and changed the glow plug. Now it will fire up but die when any throttle is given to it unless I leave the igniter on it. Low end is set at about 2 1/2 turns out, idle is good, I'm thinking high end adjustment but just can't find the spot. Is there a round-about turns out adjustment to start with? Could this problem be something else? Glow plug glows right away plus I've tried 2 of them now. HELP...........

2 1/2 turns (full turns not 2 1/2 half turns) out on the low and flush on the high. 1mm idle. no air leaks glow plug fine. doesn't even try to fire. turn the high almost all the way in and it will fire but die if you try to give it throttle. fuel is pumpin out the exhaust either way. what's the deal? I'm now officially at a loss. PLEASE HELP..................

If you prime it will it fire up? I know you said the glow plug is good but have you tested it to see if it glows? Have you taken the fuel line off of the carb and blowen into exhast fuel line to see if fuel is making it out of the tank.

it will only fire when the high end is turned almost all the way in. about 1 1/2 to 2 turns out. the plug glows almost instantly when I hook it up to the ignitor. the fuel is definatley getting to the engine, seems too much to me but i'm stumped. If i flush the high end needle it doesn't even act like it wants to fire. just that blup blup sound as i pull the cord.

you want to be 2 1/2 to 3 from all in on the high needle and flush with the collar on the low....your doing it vice versa....and your idle should be set at 1mm

Drum.....
You got Fuel Spewing out the Exhaust Pipe?
Wont run unless you leave the Igniter on?
Sounds like your Way too rich to me....
Try Leaning out the LSN to LESS than Flush.....
And put the HSN back where it belongs (2 1/2 to 3 out). Maybe even 2 turns out.
Use some Fresh Fuel. (Never leave fuel in your Tank, It turns to an Oily Sludge FAST)
Make sure your Glow Igniter is Charged.
Use a new Glowplug. (You've probably Abused the one you are using with all the Attempted/Failed Startings)
Prime your engine and Fire Her Up!
And just because a Plug GLOWS, doesnt mean that the Igniter is good or the Plug is reaching Optimum Temperature.
So...try your alternate Igniter (You have more than One, right? )
