i dont know what screw to adjust on the stock rc10gt motor to make it stop overheating and i also can't make it idle... i neeeed HHHHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPP!!!!
 
If it's not idling correctly, it may be an airleak issue. Check the tank and fuel line for cracks and holes.
 
you may still have an airleak in your LSN or HSN oring, bottom of the carb, below the head, backplate, right behind the collet ...

Here's another post where I addressed the airleak issue and how to find it ...

If you have an OS CV or CZ with the old style head (red with V-Slots) replace it with one of the new head. The old style heads don't cool as well as the new ones do. If you have pull start, you could have an air leak from the brass bushing and the starter shaft on the rear of the engine also.

The screw you need to adjust for HSN is the one where the fuel line connects to the carb. LSN is the one on the carb linkage for rotory carb and opposite end (below the fuel line) for slide carb.
