Default RE: My car keeps stalling

This is to all you that have this same problem (runs a bit, then stalls), your low speed needle is either too lean or too rich. if it is too rich your car will bog out a little when you floor it then pick up rpm very qiuckly, if it is too lean you car will want to bog out when the carb is totaly open (this is tested with the car off the ground, DON'T RUN IT FOR VERY LONG OR YOU WILL KILL THE COMPRESSION IN THE ENGINE). The low speed needle is on the end of the carb, not the one sticking out. Also your glow plug could be fouled, this can be caused by running totaly lean or totaly rich, adjust the high speed needle (the one sticking out). !!!clockwise leans, counter clockwise richens!!! Just ask me for more advanced tuning methods (temp, oil residue, smell, smoke, etc.)
