Default Problems starting my OS 46 LA

I have experience with electrics but this is my first nitro. I am having trouble getting my OS 46 LA started and keeping it running. I have to prime the heck out of it just to get it to turn over. If it stays running, I can get the needle valve set to a rich "run-in" setting but it will die on me after about a minute. I have heard about a "tank rule", any word on this? It seems that the needle valve isn't behaving like the manual says. I have the carb set at 1/3 open while turning the prop over. I this right?

I haven't even run a full tank through it yet and I already need another chicken stick. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
