Assuming that it is mounted ok and no air leaks and pulse port is getting pulsed there is a popoff setting that should popthe needle off the seat at around 10 psi for what you are doing. Next there are drillings for idle, low speed and hi speed. If the low speed drilling is too small you may not get enough adjustment to richen it up. The lo speed works all the time and when airflow is high enough it starts pulling fuel from the hi speed. I usually start with each needle out 1turn and adjust lo speed so it will start and idle then test and adjust from there. The low needle on mine alsoaffects idle. I had to turn mine so stack is on the bottom as the other way when you stop it fuel runs out into air cleaner and also the idle was eratic withstack on top.
