Default os engine

I have an os max 15cv on a t-maxx I just traded for. The engine will run as long as leave the ignitor connected. It dies when I remove it.. I have replaced the glow plug in it and did not make any difference with it. I am hoping that someone here is familiar with these engines or has had a problem like this that can help me... Also, does anyone know the factory carb settings for it where I will have a place to start.. Thanks, Wayne

Good plug and dies when removed, is a LS needle too rich. Turn in a 1/4 at a time till she will run. If you can get it to run, just leave the igniter on till it warms up then check your idle /LS needle. You don't want to keep leaning the LS till it idles good cold. They are all a little sloppy whne you first start them up.

OK I will try that. I will also change the plug again.. I put an A3 in it and will change that to a #8. Any more thoughts just let me know. Thanks
