Default Zen G26 Carb Adjustments - Help

Flew my Zenoah G26 for the first time yesterday .... both landings were dead-stick. This is my first gasser ... so I am not familiar with the tips/tricks on carb adjustments. No problems at 60 % (or higher) throttle settings ..... but after flying for 3-4 minutes, when I went to 1/2 throttle (or lower) it seemed to load up/be too rich. The manual states that the Low Speed Needle should be set 1/4 open from best mixture ... should this be done at full throttle ? half ? idle ? I was using an APC 16 X 10 prop. Any ideas ? Thanks. Bob
