please help me....CC Q-JET is bogging off start.....

ok i went to the technical articles and i looked it up and i didnt really get what they were talking about........i just adjusted the secondaries so they will open faster and the bog is BAD when i have it at 0 tension where they said i shouldnt have any if my car is running good..........i dont know how the tuning on my car is (timing tab is under the pulley).....would this affect how it started??

You misread or misunderstood something. You turn it to zero to have a starting reference point. You should have at least 1/4 turn of tension beyond zero, but this is a "tuning" step, where you set it where your car likes it - i.e., the least tension that does not produce a bog.
