3 tanks after break in or with the break in,? if the engine is new you have to run more tanks.

Pull the trigger a little to allow more air to flow into the mix while starting, keep it like this till it warms up and you should be good. It takes about 10 tanks before you can tune for performance and about 1 to 1.5 gallons before the engine reaches full power.

Check the glow plug, the charge on the glow stick and make sure its not flooded and primed properly.

new glow plug.

Also, your engine should fire up without any throttle input
