Problem number 1 : everytime i try to start it with my electric starter it locks up with in seconds. 2nd the reason i started messn with the needles in the first place was because it was blowing out and useing WAY to much gas it was blowing it out mostly.

first off did you break it in properly?.....you have to run at least 3-4 tanks of gas to start messing with the pins to lean it out and what not. if you took it out of the box and had it screaming up and down the street...then most likely you blew the engine. cant really help beyond that. try reading the manual for trouble shooting or give your hobby shop a call. good luck
