Stock settings for K&B carb

Whats a good setting for a K&B 11cc outboard carb? My engine cranks hard and when it finally kicks it revs to the moon, then dies after 3-5 seconds. The website and paperwork don't list any settings. What are you set at? That will at least get me within a half turn or so.

Any other ideas why this is happening are more than welcome.

Autious,

I've experienced this before when I went to higher nitro on mine. Your needle is set to lean. To start, open the low-end needle 1/2-3/4 turns more than where it is now and open the high-end needle 4 1/2 turns total. This should get you close.

I'll give it a shot. I figured it was on the lean side.
