Default os 46fx..need serious help

I have a new 46 fx..followed the break in procedure. The problem is once in the air the engine quits every time. Usually I can get 1/2 tank and then it will quit.I have it on an OMP edge profile..The tank is slightly higer than the centerline of the engine. There are no leaks in the tank and no foaming. In order to get a full tank I have to run it extremely rich and even then it quits most of the time. I can be flying level and all of a sudden it just cuts out. I have checked for leaks, the neddle valve is tight..I even put some tubing over it to be sure it wasnt moving and leaning out. Im running 10% cool power with a 11.5X4 APC prop and stock muffler. Im not new at this and have had many engines but this is a real mystery..maybe there is a crack in the carb or housing?? Help!!!
