So I'm mechanicly inclined with full size cars mostly turboed ones however I know nothing about these little guys. I have had one in the past that I couldn't keep running for more than a couple minutes so I sold it. I now have this one (used) and am hoping someone could give me a little crash course on tuning...I know I need a temp guage first and I have a camber measuring tool that I have no idea how to use. So there are some screws and things like that on the buggy so I'm hoping people can tell me what does what pretty much. Any help is appriciated thank you!

One more thing...the reciever battery is dead and I have the charger but have no idea how long to charge it?

EDIT: I got it running (fired right up first try) However as soon as I take the ?glow plug ignitor? off it dies withing a second or two...If I leave it on it runs untill I take it off. Could this be just needs a new plug?
Thanks in advance

ANOTHER UPDATE: I got a new glow pug in the buggy and it runs awesome as soon as you get it warmed up. It takes about 15 times of hitting the starter, it fires right up, I take off the ignitor its still running then I put it on the ground and hit the throttle and it dies over and over untill its warmed up enough then takes off and runs like a champ for about 5 minutes then still runs fine if I'm on the throttle but dies if I let off for more than a few seconds?
 
Lean the LSN 1/8th turn until it will idle on it's own for at least 8 seconds. If it bogs out past 1/4 throttle you need to lean the HSN.
LSN controls fuel flow from idle to 1/4 throttle, the HSN takes over after that. So adjust the needles accordingly.
