Default Need Help....unable to keep engine running

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!

What engine do you have? Is it the new 2.5 engine or the old .15 with the blue head?

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.
