Default Zenoah gt80 problems

Hi guys. I just picked up a ziroli dauntless with a new GT80.
On Saturday I got it started but it would not get better than 4400rpm. This was with a 20x10 solo three bladed prop which I know is a bit to small. Even adjusting the high speed needle wouldn't give me better than 4450. I had oil coming out of the right cylinder exhaust but not the left.
I have checked the plug gaps. Checked that there is spark, checked the gap of the magneto and flywheel, ensured that the carb is opening fully, took out a filter that was to small, tried it again today and now it won't even start.
I'm at a loss. Gas engines are new to me but internal combustion engines are not.
Anything else somewhat obvious that i am missing that anyone can think of?
Thanks in advance.
Jeremy
