G'day Mate,
It sounds too lean, richen main needle valve, 1/4 turn & try again.
If that doesn't work, replace glow plug.

Actually, it sounds like the midrange is lean, which would require that you richen the low end and readjust the high speed needle.

Beyond that, some more information would be needed. What engine, what carb, airbleed or in-barrell low end screw, inverted or upright mounting - and I guess I assumed this is a glow engine.

Good luck,
Dave Olson

It could also be caused by to long a tube on the clunk. If the clunk rubs the back of the tank when the plane is held vertical, this will happen. Keep at least 1/8 inch distance from the most rearward position of the clunk and the back of the tank.
