Make sure that you are reseting the correct neadles..If it has spark then the deal is the carb! reset the low speed to factory setting and then lein it 1/8 turn or so clock wise .Once it fires up you can richen it so it will sit still and not run away.

Check the plug gap, it should be .027 - .028. Any wider and it's wicked hard to get started. Figured that out after a couple of starters and blisters.

Here is a YouTube video you might find helpful.

Most of the vehicles come assembled, but it is up to the new owner to properly set them up.

Idle, fuel fixture, trim, end points etc......
