Problem with starting engine.

[ohmygahitscoby]

The engine would start, but it wouldn't stay started if you left it idle. It would just die out. If you revved it, it would stay alive, but only for a little while longer. Any help?

Bump. Still need help.

Which tank of break in is this? Or after break in? If it's still in break in it's just because the engine has a lot of pinch so it stalls easily at an idle. Could also be the richbreak in settings. If it's still giving you trouble after a couple tanks, lean the LSN 1/8 turn.

BTW should wait longer before bumping. It's a forum not a chatroom. People are still at work and school.

Oh okay. Thanks.

Also, I noticed the fuel isn't going through the fuel tube, the fuel just stays in the spot. Is the engine flooded?

shoulnt be. check your needle settings. its probably waay to lean (lsn) if the fuels not getting through (are you 100% sure!?!??! it starts, doesn't idle, stays alive if you blip throttle, but not fuel getting through to carb?). it shouldnt be flooded. you should know when its flooded.

reset lsn and try again. if it still doesn't work, reset everything and start again. remember, if your in the north hemisphere, its cold so watch the engine temps. dont start it or run it in too cold temps, cos it might not want to run.

Okay, I'll check that. And in the first posts I meant that the car wouldn't stay started in idle. This is a new issue.
