hey i am having the same problem with heat i started from factory setting then i kept leaning the top needle untill it stopped bogging out and stalling while throttleing up and then when i got it running so i thought was perfect i poured a little water on top of the glow plug and it started boiling so i messed around with the needle a bit more to richen it up but then it was just bogging again so I'm gonna stop playing with it till my LHS gets more temp guns in stalk i think tonight ill be stripping it all down and cleaning it

ok, first mistake was that you set the HSN before the LSN. Always set your LSN first. That's what allows your smooth starts and acceleration. Tune the LSN so that when you pull the trigger, you get a nice launch. After your idle and LSN are set, leave them alone. Now is when you start setting the HSN.
 
okay ill try that just gonna get a temp gun before i mess around anymore
