Default Jato needs fuel!

My jato acts like it is not getting fuel sometimes, Like just today I go and get it stuck on an uphill area and the engine just cuts out. Any advice would be appreciated. Ive checked the lines and there doesnt seem to be any kinks or air holes or leaks or anything of the nature.

Might be too lean and it appears to be getting fuel but isn't....whats the temps like when it shuts down? I'd richen it 1/4 turn on the HSN and see what happens.

Can also be a failing glow plug, failing engine too

id say richen about a quarter turn, 1/8th at a time but if you have one use a temp gauge( at glow plug) should be around 240-275 and thats about right

if thats not it i dunno what to tell ya except may be the brakes are too tight, mess around with those and lube up the bearing cause i had some trouble with one of the bearings

Ok, I think i fixed it by richening the needle a little bit. After the adjustment i temp gauged it and it was at 240 on the dot. Was running great today but im still going to do some testing and see whats up.
