Default Won't Stay Running

I am trying to break in my motor, but the thing dies as soon as I touch the throttle a little bit.

The needles are at the factory setting.

Savage 4.6 SS

Any suggestions are appreciated

Turn the high speed down about 1/8 of a turn and the same for the low speed let it idle for a few then slowly putt around your yard at low speeds get it warm let it cool repeat. It is hard to do but you will get throught it them you will be hitting the gas like there is no tomorrow.

Its also good to leave the glow stick on for 5-10 secs after it starts up.

I had the same problem with my mgt, i leaned out the lsn 1/8, and slowly but surely you will be able to give it gas. It takes patience, And that was like my second tank of just idleing.
