Status: offline 		Has anyone ever heard of the LSN coming loose as the car idles. I adjust mine and then as it idles for like 5 seconds it tightens up, gets too lean and the car dies,--the only way I can keep the car running is to take the low speed needle all the way out.--someone told me Teflon tape or red thread lock-but has anyone actually had this problem and fixed it? help

I would take the needle out and make sure it has the O-ring on, that might be a 5 cents/trip to the hardware store fix?

Good luck

I would call them first and tell them the problem.
