Screwed up carb
My mid range needle worked its way out of the carb from the vibrations after I had a good tune and now its all screwed up, and I don't know how to get it back into tune. At first it wouldn't even start, but now it does. Then when I got it to start I held it up off the ground and gave it 10-12 trigger pulls and then the idle speed would increase and then the engine dies. Now it will only run with the glow ignitor in and it will only reach a very low rpm when I give it throttle.
What can I do??

The mid range needle is flush with the housing pointing at the 1 oclock position.
If it is vibrating loose and easy quick fix on those is to carefully remove the needle and use some white teflon plumbers tape on the threads to make the screw stay in place. That is a common problem on those engines.
