Default ofna picco 26 engine problems

alright i ordered a engine off ebay (yes stupid) anyway i got it fired up and it seems to have good compression. When i get the engine past half throttle it will turn off. Then i noticed the LSP was all the way turned in and richened it about 3 turns (about .5mm out) and still had the same issue. Its running under 200 degrees and i can't seem to see why im having problems.
O and the HSN is about a turn under flush i think 3 turns out from closed.

That would be the Picco P3 .26 Monster and the problem you've got relates to the HSN being too lean and possibly a dying plug.

I agree , also there is a reason why it was only $50 .

Sounds like the HSN is really lean and by the time you get to half throttle it would be out of gas . A guy at the track had a similar problem , he would start the car and take a run down the straight away and when he got to WOT he would always die . I checked it out for him and backed out the HSN a full turn and it fixed his problem . I would richen your HSN up a lot to see if it will run past half throttle and go from there .

Ok so i richened the HSN and it didn't help. So i richened the LSP ALOT and now i can got WOT but she will just die out after. When you say change the seals do you mean o rings and what not or just to SEAL the engine in general? I think i am going to take the time and seal her up then give it another shot.
