Default RE: Engine help please

**UPDATE** I found that one of the backplate screws (the one that holds the needle valve bracket) was loose. I thought I found the problem but she did the same thing at the field. One of the guys (THANK YOU ROBERT!!) spent over an hour with me trying to get her going. He narrowed it down to the small air needle in front of the carb. We tried everything!! He even tried a different prop and 4 stroke glow plug. It's much better, but still dies at idle.

By the way. This is why I love this hobby. You guys have spent time helping me out, and the guy at the field cooked in the Florida sun helping me out when he could have been flying.
