Default problems tuning jato

when i try to set my high idle it starts to not run at all. when i get it running again it's too rich and cuts off when i go wot. i have been messing around with the high and low idle adjustments the most, could the idle affect this problem any??? i'm in need of a little help, this is pretty frustrating.

Set the high speed needle first then the low but not till you have the HSN set correctly. If you do not adjust the low you will not get the best performance out of it. All so it can change day to day.

i would losen the low speed like half a turn or put it back to the factory seting becuase if its ceeps on staling it sownds like it's not geting any fuel.
if this dosent work see if the fuel line is craked it might be sucking in air so theres only air going to the engein not fuel
hope this helps

have a look at ur carby and turn u controler on and put the brakes on if lol carby shuts then yes its striped.
if this is the case then put the trim up a bit on ur controler and see if the carby opens then dont use the brakes\
and try and start it.
and just a quetion is ur JATO new
