Default Engine Stalling

Well I fixed my crazy engine issue but now I cant get the thing to run. The breakin hasent been going so well the first time I ran it, it went WOT and much faster than I wanted too and since then I have tryed to get it running a couple times. Here the problem the truck starts up easily and then I turn up the throttle trim to a high idel give it a few seconds and remove the glow starter and then it just stalls or stalls when I apply a tiny bit of gas. I have the needels set as the manual says for the first 2 tanks of fuel and the plug seems fine I compared it to another new mc coy i had and it was the same as the new one but I swapped it out anyways and that still dident work so im guessing its either too rich or lean perhaps you guys can help me out.

sounds to rich, the factory settings are way to RICH, u should heat cycle the engine, especially in that cold a weather u are in, doin it by the manual will just shorten your engine life, Especially when the weather is as cold as your saying

The engine ran fine with the lsn set at 3 turns...never had tuning or overheating issues with the lsn set at 3 turns. But my advice to newfienitro is to start at factory and turn at 1 hour increments.

I'm not saying your setting is wrong or right....I'm just saying what worked for me.
