Default RE: Evo 46 major help needed

Ok Now i got it running really good but now i am getting air bubbles like crazy and Ideas where I took the tank out today and filled a sink with water and put it under pressure and could not find a leak anywhere.. Alson replaced all of the lines it did a little better but still after about 1.5 to 2 min of wide open throttle it is running itself out of fuel ... Any more ideas on this is.. It is driving me crazy... If i can't get it fixed soon it will be for sale!!! Thanks Again!!!!

I have a evolution 46 on my arrow 40.. I have nothing but trouble from this engine.. I am kind of new to this but have a very mechanical background in everything else that runs.. Last fall I finally got so mad at this engine I almost quit the hobby.. First off it has dead stick every time i have flown it.. (really helps with landing practice) I decided that i would not let it whip me so i got it back out and have been working with it for about 2 weeks... First time I tried to start it it started right up but would not transtion to full throttle without dying.. I found some info on here about adjusting the low speed needle to 1 and 1/5 turns out which was fine but i reved my idle up a lot so i opened it back up to aprox 1 and 3/4 turns now.. runs really good for about 20 seconds wide open or ideling or transitoning it but after that 20 seconds it slowly begins to putter out and then finally quits it will start right back and then do the same thing again.... I am running an O.S. #8 glow plug that is new and wildcat nitro in it... any adjustments i can do or any thing to look for it has really got me bummed out wanting to get back in the air but am tired of deadstick landings Please Please Help Thanks a Ton In advance love the hobby and don't want to quit
