Default Nexstar Engine Issues

Hello,

I am relatively new to RC Flying, so naturally I have many questions. I recently purchased the Nexstar Trainer as my first plane. I have taken it out on two occasions to attempt my first flight and have run into an issue which I need help with. After priming the fuel lines, I attach the power source to the glow plug and the engine starts almost immediately. The problem I have, is that I let the engine idle for a few minutes to get it warmed up, I increase the throttle to not even 1/2 power and the engine seems to flood within seconds. Even with the carburetor set on the leanest setting, the engine still floods. Any ideas as to why I might be encountering this problem and any suggestions as to how to fix it?

Thanks!
