either its way too rich or you need to put in a new glow plug. Most likely its the glow plug, sometimes they just go bad but they go bad alot during break in.

Did you break the car/engine in when you first got it? is it a new engine, how many tanks have you had thru it?

When i first got it i ran some tanks on it driving slow.....

how should i use the low/high speed needle?
What does idle screw do?

the high should be 2 1/2 out from closed and the low should be 4 out from closed and the idle screw should be set so the carb has a 1mm opening when at idle and the brake is applied.

Hi. I have been having some tuning problems too. is the area in red my low speed mix screw? if i unwind it wont my throttle lever thing (technical term) come undone? the screw is easy to turn once unwound. Cheers

no, that just holds the throttle arm in place. Thats looks like a .18 rotary carb infinity, some of those didnt come with a low needle just a high neede.

Judging from the screw in the body of the crankase just below the Carb (thats the one that holds the carb) it has to be a small block infinity [:-]

In That case does anyone have any suggestions that might get the engine running properly? It will start, idle and run at high revs properly. but when i throttle off from high revs or it changes into second gear the engine dies. I have replaced all the exhaust gaskets and fuel lines but still have the problems. Can anyone help?
