Ok, I got my 4-tec put back together and now am trying to keep it running, but with no luck. I have a feeling it is something with the carb and the adjustments that either need to be made, or were made incorrectly. Could a few of you with 4-tec's give me a lil tuning info on your carb setup...ie, needle settings, and anything else that might be relevant. Currently I have only messed with the small screw/spring combo on the side next to the intake, and the tall black needle that the fuel runs to before it makes it to the carb. I have set the small screw/spring back to where it was when I got it, but the other needle is set about 4 1/4 turns out.
Any help would be appreciated. I wanna go drive this badboy!

It's the .15 with the blue head.
I got it running now....the heating element in the glow plug was bent in and must have burned out almost immediately....then I just had to set the needle to 2 1/2 and start adjusting from there. Still playing with it now....hopefully have it tweaked soon.
