Default ax 55 problems

well my ax55 will idle all day and transitions great (1 flip starts) but their is this one spot, just past idle but not more than 1/3 open where the engine seems to run fine then all of a sudden dies.
this has caused way to many deadsticks for my likeing and due to my luck, this is where i run my engine when i am doing harriers (mojo.40)
i had this problem with a os fp 40, and seemed to solve it, but that was with an airbleed carb and not a twin needle. (high end was to rich while low end was a hair to lean, after i fixed that the engine runs like a top, 1 flip starts as well)

this engine is on a profile, so i can see the lines/tank. the engine likes to die when its 2/3 full (8oz).
the fuel was foaming but i thought i fixed the problem, ill doubble check to make sure i did.

has anyone else had this expierence? run fine but dies at one setting (1 click up or down and it wont die)
the engine is still breaking in with maybe 1/4 of a gallon through it.
