Default RE: Evolution Engines: No Break In? Tuning?

Funny,

I went out and bought the Hangar 9 alpha trainer that comes with the evolution engine. Yesterday I tried to get it up and running. I was succesful in getting the engine started. But the engine just seemed so unstable that I would dare try to take it up in the air. If it idles it would shut off, If you gas it, It would shut off. The directions cleary say get engine to full throttle and pinch the fuel line..Ok, thats wonderful but as soon as I increase the throttle the engine takes a crap and dies. So I tired doing some minor adjustment to the high speed needle thinking that engine was starved for gas....No such luck...3 hours of tweaking and setting the two needles just to get this POS to run right....Now, I will admit that I am clueless when it comes to this stuff....but the directions dont cover my situation....

Symptoms are

It throws fuel out of the muffler (is that normal!?!?!?! quiet a lot...covered one side of my bed liner in my truck)
It will idle for about 2 minutes then die shortly after if you dont touch the throttle
going full throtle will kill it immeditley if you go past half way....And I know it will go faster


I am left with 2 options
Throw the damn thing away and right it off as a stupid mistake for getting into this hobby

Or go join 2433241 clubs to get idea of what hole I dug myself into

O and yeah, Sorry to be so negative.....just frustrates the living hell out of me
