Default Trouble with Evolution .36. Air in fuel lines?

Hi.
I have a Evolution .36 mounted to an Extreme Flight Outlaw.
I've always had trouble getting it started and keeping it running more than a few seconds. Yesterday I fired it up, and got it running for a couple of seconds.

I noticed some air bubbles right after the HS needle in the fuel line when it was running. I also saw some air bubbles before the HS needle after it had stopped. Where could the air leak be?
Tank? Fuel filter? HS needle? Carburetor?

I'm also running it on a O.S #8. I've heard Evo-engines can be picky on plugs. Any suggestions on a better one for this engine?

Thank you so much. Here is some photos of the fuel lines right after it stopped.
