Took out my raptor 53 today....can't seem to get it to stay running no matter how I adjust the needle. After about 2 secs after I take the glow ignitor off it dies. Tried 2 different glow plugs and numerous settings and no luck. Also changed all fuel lines... It was running fine last time but now it's just impossible. Got it to hover once and it died a foot off the ground. Any ideas or is this carb just junk??

is it speeding up and dying or bogging down and dying?

Did you use after run oil in the motor? If you did and it had any silicone in it you will kill glow plugs as fast as you can install them, until you get all of the silicone flushed out of the motor.
Also, if you used a silicone gasket sealer anywhere on the heli you can have the same problem.
Just a couple of thoughts.

Clean the carberator spray valve really good with a fine wire or needle....
