RE: first flight good, second flight BAD.
I'm inclined to agree with Earlwb. Try richening up the high speed needle a 1/4 turn and see what happens. Good that there is some Castor in the mix to take care of those "potential" lean runs.
I would were I you up the oil content too. All the old gurus here say use 20% total lubircant (oil). That you can get away with 17% is your choice, that means a tad more performance but also a tad less lubiricant through the system. Yes, I know some that even run 10 or 12% lubricant but at what risk?
