rc engine set ups...
for some reason the engine in my rc car cuts out after 10secs 
when i pull start it again it fires up perfect then dies.
does any one know how to set up the carb on these???
on the car there is a screw for the opening of the barrel, a small srew through the centre of the barrel and a brass screw next to fuel pipe if this helps.

PLEASE W/E u do DONT TOUCH THE SCREW THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF CARB because it will need run proper ever again 
If you have you have to take it to your local hobby shop for a carb service
Rigth lil screw with spring is the idle screw & the big one in a sleeve is the high speed fuel mix screw, the one go's through the carb is the low speed fuel mix "wich should be never touched"
What car is it?

Look in the manual, it should tell you the amount of turns out for each screw and return it to factory. If youve messed up the small screw the idle might be too low. Like said the low speed screw is evil try not to touch this
The easiest is idle screw to fix, does the engine keep going if you hold the throttle open a bit?

i touched the EVIL little screw an it's sorted now, set it up to 1mm open throttle and it was perfect,
found out it was the high speed fuel mix was over fuelling to much.
thanks for the help people
