Default RE: Shockwave engine help

Ok so we finally had some nice weather today and I was able to go back to testing. After doing some more reading on the forums here I have made some adjustments to my settings. Here is approximatly where I am....

LSN: Flush with jacket
Idle: currently a little high as I think the hole in the carb (not sure on how to phrase this right) is probably about 3-4mm wide and I will adjust tomorrow
HSN: Currently about 2 and 1/2 turns from shut
I have also adjusted the throttle trim a bit and was able to get the wheels to stop moving... once

Currently when I turn over the engine now, if I remove the igniter the engine dies, if i give it some throttle it seems that it goes for a few seconds then chokes out. If I give it break it seems like nothing happends (not surprising i dont think).

At this point I think my HSN is set a little too high, I am spitting TONS of fuel out of the exhaust and I seem to choke out when I try to throttle up. I will be setting the HSN back to closed then going 2 full turns instead of 2 and 1/2 to see if this helps. Any other suggestions from the pros??

Any and All Help is Welcomed.
