Try opening ur idle screw a bit, there should be about a 1mm gap when ur throttle is in neutral.. if that does not work try replacing glow plug, if that does not work try replacing clutch bell bearing, bearings can hang up the engine at idle and make them stall.
If all of those dont work you might have a more serious problem..'
Also check all screws (head,carb and back plate)

well before I would replace everything I would replace glow plug, make sure the idle is set correct and go back to factory settings on your engine.
When you let of the gas it dies.. Does it cut off right away like instantly or does it take a sec or two? when you start it does the wheels spin fast instantly?

the glow plug i have in it is new but i put one with an idle bar on it in. this is the first time i tried one with an idle bar. could that be it?
it does not cut off right away, it does take a few seconds, and the wheels do start spinning as soon as I start it

If your wheels are spinning pretty good at idle it is more than likely a clutch issue. I would also consider opening up the idle a little.
When you give it throttle does it bog down before it takes off and blow out a lot of smoke? If so you may need to lean out your low needle a couple of hours. If it is not blowing excessive smoke and bogging at take off then change out your clutch bearings.

if you wheels are spinning like full blast when you start it, fix your clutch before you start tuning again

yes it does bog when i give it throttle and then it blows out a lot of smoke so i will try leaning out the low speed but it is raining here so i will have to wait to do that
