My Jato stalls alot. Once I get it started it will stall shortly after and when I do get it started, once I pull the throtle the car will stall. I have been able to drive it for 6 min. at the most without it stalling. It also stalls when you just let it idle. Also when I try to start it, it makes a clicking sound, which dosn't sound normal. So should I try leaning the needles? Tahnks for the help.

i would imagine you tried turning the idle screw in right? if not do so and also if your lo speed is to rich it could cause stalling, could be the glow plug as well, air leak, but the clicking sounds suspicious.........

yep could be either HSN lean or LSN rich, listen to how it sounds when it dies, if it boggs down the LSN is rich, if it sounds like it ran out of gas the HSN is lean

I have already tried adjusting the idle speed screw and that didn't work. I know that the HSN is not to lean because it is just about 1/16 turn past the break in setting. So I'll try leaning the LSN tomorrow and see what happens.

IT's definatly the LSN. Spin it in I say 1/4 turn at a time b/c it's so bad. After it's able to idle for a while, adjust it 1/8 turns at a time until the engine will idle 10-20 sec (max) then bog down.
