Sorry for the threadjack but it seems silly to start another topic on the same car.

 

I had my Big 6 running yesterday for the first time in many years. It was very reluctant to start but after spitting a load of gunk out of the exhaust it fired up and I was able to drive it around a little. Today I came back to it and it fired up with ease, however, it now dies the moment throttle is applied.

 

Does anybody know the factory needle settings for this engine? I can't seem to find much info on it.

try changing the glow plug it may have got fouled up 

It lives! I changed the plug which seemed to help a little. However, it turns out the tune was waaaay too rich. I'd tried adjusting it up to a turn each way with no luck, it needed a full 3 turns in on the hsn and 2 on the lsn.
