Default Engine Help

Thought I would ask you guys opinion on this as the local guys don't seem to have an opinion.

I think the Picco 28 finally gave up It still rips, but as soon as it goes to idle it dies. The clutch is super smooth with new bearings. I can't see anything wrong with it. Still has pinch when cold. And I can still start it when hot, but it takes about 10 seconds, acts more like it was starved for fuel even after richening it 3/4 turn. But there is not much, if any compression when hot. ABout the only thing I can think of is to tighten down my clutch hopeing that somehow it came loose and is enguageing at low rpms. This all started in the Main last Sunday at a local track, stalled at least 5 times in the main, but runs great when not ideling. I did try increasing the idle, but the same. the 2 seconds it does idle it sounds OK, not to fast or slow. Any ideas before I toss it? I really wanted 2 RTR trucks for ROAR, but this kinda puts a stop to that.

Note I am running the Orion V6 clutch, so I can adjust it. Haven't had time to try yet.

Thanks guys

Have you checked the fuel tank for any kind of leaks, even ones you wont see fuel coming out of? Have you sealed the carb? Have you changed plug/pipe/fuel recently? Hows the front main bearing look? Fuel lines maybe need replacing???
