Default RE: DL-50 engine

Guys, i have put about 3-1/2 gallons through it. I know it isn't completley broken in but i just can't get the mid range to stop burbling and missing. My question is, how do u know when the low end is too lean. I did the fix on the carb that runs a line from that little pressure whole on top of the carb. I am still new to gasser tuning. It is not like the engine runs like ****. I can go through all my aerobatics without concern of it quiting. However, inverted flight along with verticle flight lets the engine run so smooth. I just can't seem to get there with my tuning.

Also, I have it set for a high and low idle. Since this is ony a small plane, 13#, i need the low idle to land. The low idle is fairly reliable except for the couple seconds the plane slows down after tuch down. The engine just always dies. Sometimes if i goose the throttle for a second it does fine but if i forget it is a 200ft walk. Really anoying.

What am i doing wrong
