Are my idle needles good?

What vehicle do you have?

Here is an example of what your linkage should look like. (Also make sure the trim is set to zero before adjusting linkages)

I would make your servo arm setup like in the picture above.
Remove servo arm, turn on radio (throttle trim at zero), reinstall arm in neutral (parallel) position
Then you might need to do minor adjustments to the linkage rods.

Exactly what I’m trying to say, just don’t know if it made sense the way I said it.

I could make a video of what it should look like but my servo horn is different, however throttle and brake should be the same concept

Yeah could you send a vid. I did what Weezel said to do but the idle gap is still at half way when it is in neutral but if I push it in, it'll go to the gap that I want it to be

I’ll have to get one tomorrow

Yep, no worries, I just don't want to keep messing with screws that could create more problems

I hope this helps, I beleive you may need to adjust your stop collar.

I adjusted it and now it works perfectly, can't thank you enough!

Much easier with a picture and video than trying to explain sometimes. The old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is so true!

The instruction sheet you posted made sense to me and I realized what the issue was, but that’s because I was just going down that road he was on!

now you can start tuning and watch that tuning video again!

hopefully it doesn't start smoking again

so everything was much better. Wasn't so loud and wasn't smoking etc but the only way I can get it to start is by putting a little bit of nitro in the idle gap and then starting it. Once I get it to start, it'll go for ~5 seconds and will either stop by itself or stop if I pull out the glow ignitor. My theory is that it's just burning off the fuel that I put into the idle gap and once that's burnt, it stops. So I'm thinking there's a problem to do with the fuel lines. Last week I cleaned out all the fuel lines since it was sitting for years and, it's all sealed so there shouldn't be any air gaps.

Your high speed needle was way lean, back it out to about flush id say.

Your high speed needle was way lean, back it out to about flush id say.

Got it starting, went for 20 ish seconds, was going to do it again, I took out the glow plug cause I thought I had flooded the engine and then somehow lost the glow plug and have no idea where it went, spent like 1h 1/2 trying to find it......
