Default RE: Engine vibration

Here's the virdict so far,after messing with it saturday i put it back,today i was gonna start it with the 3 blade prop to refresh my memory then change to the 2 blade,however after i ran the three blade i found it to be pretty smooth until 3/4 throttle then the cheeks did there flapping and you could hear it viberating..how do you spell viberating in the first place ?,so i took it up to full throttle and it was about the same,i slowly moved the throttle back and just above 1/2 throttle position it smoothed out,all the way down to idle,i pinched the fuel line and it ran for a few seconds before it almost quit.
HOWEVER,the highspeed screw is past the stop about 1 turn and it really runs,if i screw it back to the original place the engine don't run as fast but i'm thinking it would be to lean and not run as fast,maybe i'm running the engine too fast so that is where the vib is coming from ?.
Thanks
