What carburetor are you working with? On a NT have you adjusted the idle screw on the side? The screw with the spring.

Try messing with the idle screw first. If you cannot get it dialed in with that then it may be another issue. What carb are you using?

I have the standard carb and i tried messing with that screw and same thing happened. I got my kit from boygofast on ebay

Ocean how many miles have you put on the engine? A lot of times the engine will not idle correctly until the engine has been properly broken in.

Ive probably got about 150 miles on it and im running a 23-1 fuel ratio

After the first two gallons switch to 32:1. Then you can screw that idle screw all the way in and then back it off 3 turns. Once you get it idling continue to back it off until it won't idle again, so you can find that "sweet spot" just tighter than how far you backed it off when it stops idling.

You may also have an air leak which could cause idle problems.
