Have u tried messing with the carb linkage thats connected to the slide arm? Have u checked the obvious; like have u checked to make sure the throttle isnt turned all the way up on the transmitter? If not, I would try to re-adjust the carb linkage that opens/closes the slide for the carb to see if u can get it to go back down that way.....

Thanks, that was the problem , im not use to thouse dails, never messed with them.
But, now whenever i give it gas while it idles, it dies, why?

sounds rich.
does it bog then die and are you giving it WOT.?

Sounds to me like low speed needle(lsn) located on the end of the slide arm is too rich. Lean it(turn clockwise) approx. 1/4 to 1/8 turn at a time until it stops dying out.

Sorry for all the noobie questions, after a month of not driving, ive completely forgotten about how to tune it [&:]
Thanks for the help, and it doesnt even get up to speed, like if i go WOT it dies, and i go very little throttle it goes for a foot, then dies.
So i guess it is rich, thanks again.

If it dies at WOT like u say it does, then yes it is definately too rich on the HSN(high speed needle). Lean it, (turn clockwise) approx 1/4 to 1/8 turn at a time UNTIL u reach the point that it stops dying out at wot, but yet it also does not bogg at all and there is still a good trail of blue smolke. At that point u probably have reached the optimum setting for the needle(s).
