.21 engine problems
so heres the problem. i fire up my buggy, and it idles perfectly, not a hiccup. i tap the throttle, it revs up fine, but once i hit the throttle with a little more bite, when i let off, it just cuts the engine. i thought it was running lean because of the weather, plus its cold, so i richened it up alot, same issue.

thats what i thought at first too, but i stuck the glow starter back in after it sat for a minute, and it fired right back up. i must've done this 20 times while fooling with the needles

its just a standard ofna 3 shoe. never had any problems like this. Granted, my buggy was sitting on a shelf for about a month and a half, so anything could've happened to th car, but before i started it again, i took the engine apart and gave it a thorough cleaning.

Ya i see what you mean. I run O.S. #8's recommended by my LHS, and they have worked pretty well so far. do you think the cold has affected the plug too?

turns out it was the plug. runs good now, although its bitter cold outside so its been acting up a little bit, but nothing out of the ordinary
