Hi datsun, i am not very familiar with the jammin rtr, but if you have car
running with the igniter still attached, take it off and it dies, i`d say ur
glow plug is stuffed,if it continues to do this after glowplug replacement,
i would say that it would be too rich down low(LSN), also make sure
ya have atleast a 1mm gap between ur carby slide and the throat of
carby,generally if ya lean ur(LSN-throttle servo side on carby slide)
this will increase ur idle speed, as for needle settings, surely they
would be in ur instruction manual, if car is an RTR..Hope this helps..
