Its A Ofna Buggy, It Starts Fine But When I Put It On The Ground It Shuts Off. I Have Good Fuel, New Plug, And I Dont Want To Mess With The Adjustments Becuase I Am Not To Sure If I Should. If Theres Is Anyone In The Los Angeles Area (california) Who Can Help Me Out In Person That Would Be Great
Thanks For Any Info

Does it have any compression? When it is warm and you spin the flywheel does it "pop" or does it just spin pretty easily? How much fuel have you run through it? When you start it on the box, are the wheels turning?
 
If you have your manual go back to origional settings if not check the net. I am going to take a guess and say it is a needle setting, but I am not going to rule out the compression as stated above.

IT HAS COMPRESSION, MOTOR HAS LESS THAN A GALLON OF FUEL. THE WHEELS DO TURN WHEN ITS THE STATER BOX

On the starter box, the wheels should never turn.If they do I would be looking at your clutch. The shoes needed to be loaded properly and the shoes not worn down too far.

Why are you yelling at me? I asked a series of questions that would be common problems, you never stated if it was a new or old mill. The ? about wheels turning would indicate a clutch problem as jon said.
 
Check your clutch spring, mine went yesterday !!

Started up fine, but stalls when placed on the ground.

My guess is that it is a needle setting. You will have to adjust the carb! Its just part of the game.
