RE: re tuning my engine
I take it you have a DuraTrax Nitro Quake from your other posts.
So reset the high speed needle and turn the low speed needle so that it's flush with the carb body. It will no doubt be too rich but it'll be a starting place. Then just turn in till it's not sluggish followed by the pinch test described in the manual. Should get you up and running.
