Had the same thing happen to me on my car. In my case, it was my glow igniter not getting my glow plug hot enough, or the glow plug was bad, I forget which. But check both.

did you make sure you turned the richen/lean needle FULL turns? my friend only did it half turns thinking that they were full...after i told him he wasnt turning it right it ran just fine.

I adjust at hour increments sometimes, but the plug and igniter are good. its getting gas, its just when I start the car, let it warm for a min then start the car will stall... Piss me off the I have to stick the electric start back in.

A full turn is like going around a clock once right?
