Lotsa Engine Troubles
I have a Novarossi .12 on my GT everytime I start it, it starts up fine and about half the time it sort of bogs down and stalls during idle. Its only 2 1/2 turns out from closed on the high end so I dont see how it could be too rich. It doesnt sound like its stalling lean because I would hear the RPM's climb before stalling. The temp is about 210 which is supposed to be normal. When I drive the car sometimes it just has no power I could walk faster and then it just keeps losing power until it finnally stalls. Can somebody please tell me a good needle setting I dont know if I should mess with the low end adjustment or do I even know what to set it at.

do you have the manual for that engine? if so return it to factory setting and tuen from there.
you say when its at idle it will bog down. well if you let it idle too long it overloads and will always stall.
when running it will go really slow? are the rpms high or just sputtering out.
go through the routine checks.

The RPM's are not high at all when it stalls but its about 3 turns from closed. It wont really idle at all. I dont have the manual for the NOvarossi engine what should I set the high and low speed needle to start with and go from there?

air leaks

Checked for air leaks, check for air flow (replaced air filter, etc) Fuel quality is 20% O'Donnel its a brand new gallon, glow plug I just replaced not 10 minutes ago. I cant really find much on novarossi's website is mostly italian stuff.
