    same thing happened to me today, revved up on the box then stalled. at first i thought it might be out of tune but adjusting the needles didn't solve the issue. it turned out to be a dodgy glow plug because it ran sweet as a nut with a new plug fitted.

    Default Engine.

    If its not your plug, try putting the car on the floor as its not a good idea to rev the engine while the wheels are off the ground. If the car struggles to pull away and there is loads of smoke lean the top end a bit then keep leaning the bottom end until it will pull away but it is supposed to be rich to lube the tight piston.

    This is the latest attempt at a tune.

    Changed the Glo plug (that stopped the stall issue)
