When I start my engine it starts fine, but I have to pedal hard to get it to start going up to speed. If I don't it stops and dies. And I pull the clutch down it dies. How do I fix it?
 
Raise the needle, (lower the C clip) 1 position at a time.
 
explain your start process, do you use the choke, are there midgets involved, are you goosing the throttle, did you tap the tickler, what kind of motor, are there midgets involved? need some more info.
 
Do you have a removable head or a one piece cylinder and head combo? If it’s a removable head check for a head gasket leak, what you described sounds like low compression.
