Need Help.

Ok guys I'm trying my hand at tuning. Yesterday I had a issue with my HSN working it self out from the carb. I seem to have that issue resolved looks like I was missing a washer. So I got that all sealed up, but now my engine (lrp 30) wont stay running. It will fire up on the first pull then shut off. I know nitros can be a little temperamental, so I give it a little throttle while cranking to get it to turn over. If/when it fires up it my run for about a minute or so and just shut of with an audible "click". Trying to start it after that just leads to a lot of sweat and bad words. Please Help, Let me know where to start.

Pop in a brand new plug, check your igniter first,....did you by any chance clog the needle or close it off partially when you were fixing it?

Maybe Hotrodrob , I did use a little Teflon tape on the threads. Just got a couple of new plugs and I'm charging my igniter now.

Teflon tape is notorious for clogging small orfices
