Default Engine idling/starting problems

Hi all

Just wondering if you can help me with a problem I am having.

When I start my buggy on a starter box I need to open up the throttle to get it started using the throttle trim it then starts screaming its head off and when I return the trim to normal the engine dies.

Carb slider is set at about 2mm? for idle. This allows the engine to idle without stalling.

This happens obviously when cold but when engine is warmed up (eventually after much frustration on getting it going) it still does the same thing except not as bad. I thought I had the thing tuned but obviously not.

Car stalls alot and is getting the better of me as I want to start racing and cant have this happening on the track. I live a fair distance away from the nearest race club so getting help is a problem too.

I have read various engine tuning posts but it still seems to be not too clear to me on if there is a tuning problem or what?!

Your thoughts, comments and help please and appreciated.
