Well sounds to me like ur low speed needle could be a tad too lean. Try richening it approx 1/4 turn(very small increments) at a time; keeping in mind that turning the needle too much one way or the other can do significant things as far as tuning goes....

I did that and then it hesitates when I accelerate. Its also dies when it idles.

Could it be an air leak ?

Well if i were u; i would try totally re-setting both needles to factory defaults and re-tuning them from there. As for the air leak; from the sounds of it; it doesnt sound as likely that its a air leak, as it does the fact that the needle settings are somehow off...

I've just done that. HSN 4 turns from closed and the LSN flush with the grey thing they said. It's still idleing too high so i tried lowering the idle screw it didn't do a thing..

First, try richening ur high speed needle approx 1/4 turn; then richen the low speed and see what that does for ya....If that doesn't do it, then it is possible u may have a air leak somewhere, either in ur fuel tank, fuel lines, carb o-ring, or backplate gasket...
