Factory needle settings are only a safe starting point. They do not take into consideration weather, nitro content, glo plug, et. With that said, post your glo plug, fuel, etc. It sounds like you are just super rich on the low end. Lean it a bit, turn the idle up, and start it again. Once its up and running, adjust the low speed needle so you are spitting some oil out that pipe at idle. You will have to adjust idle during this time. Once you have some decent running settings, keep the idle high, but you dont have to have it so the clutches are engaging all the time. I wouldnt break any motor in at under 180. Good luck! Keep us posted.
