Default O.S. .46 AX Question

Hi all
I recently bought a .46 AX and everytime I fly with it, it results in a two minute flight and a deadstick...after that kept going on for about 10 flights, I came to my senses and said, "Theres something wrong." Turns out the fuel line in the tank was leaking...well, after replacing the fuel lines, now I have a mixture problem, I think. While testing the engine, it throttles up nicely, but it hates to idle...it only idles for like 30 seconds before shutting down. Sometimes, it idles nicely then randomly shuts down, while other times it sounds like its revving too fast and it shuts down. This is with the needles exactly the same. The engine is in a Avistar and burning Omega 10% fuel and a O.S. A3 glow plug....can someone please enlighten me on what (probably obvious) mistake I'm doing?

Thanks
