P500 P520 does when idling.

After a few minutes of idling, my 2021 520 will die. Put a new air filter on, not too much oil, and it still does. Ideas?

Change spark plug, make sure it's Iridium

The P520 has only been out for a short time, I can't imagine it going through a sparkplug already unless you have a ton of miles on it.

How old is your gas? I have a bit of a hard starting issue if I leave the gas in too long and don't put fresh in it.

About 250 miles. No, it doesn’t idle much.

No technical advise here but if it'll start and run, I'd take it out and hammer through the gears, WOT. Just burn the carbon out of it.

Absolutely worth a try, just keep an eye on the muffler, make sure it's not turning cherry red.

That’s a good point, maybe blow out the spark arrestor.
