Default JATO-full throttle bogging

jato is a month old, it ran great last time i had it out, except it would stall if i did a high speed pass and then let it idle. I turned the idle up a bit, and messed with the low speed needle and now it will idle all day long no matter what, GOOD!

now i have a whole different problem...the car will rip untill i open the throttle up...then it bogs and stutters real bad, if i hold the gas off the line it will barely move, won't even spin the tires, just bogs and sputters and will stall. if i smack the gas only half throttle off the line i will get hit with a roost, and then it'll get up to speed and i open the throttle and we have no acceleration...i tried runnin it a bit richer, didn't help, leaned it out a bit and it seemed to help a little, but then the car warmed up and it did it again!! i wanted to keep tuning (it took me 3 tanks of gas so far) but the damn EZ start died, i think im gonna ditch the EZ start for a pull start.

earlier in the day it was runnin great, it would float a wheelie for quite awhile through the lawn...don't know what it's doin now.

could the glow plug have anything to do with it?? (also, it seems like it spits some fuel out the tip of the exhaust) but then if i lean it out....it doesn't even start....****!!



(this is posted in RC engines too just so i don't get flamed for it, just think i'll get better responses here!)
