Default First experience with Bubble Jett tanks

I just finished and flew a new Outlaw yesterday. I outfitted it with a NOS OS .32SX and my first Bubble Jett fuel tank. I had trouble with the engine flooding and had to keep hemostats on the fuel line until I had the igniter on the plug and starter in hand or else I would get hydraulic lock in just a matter of seconds. I also had trouble with the mixture enriching and dying out at low and mid throttle.

The engine has very little run time on it so I was intentionally running it a few clicks rich, and the low end needle can probably be leaned out a tad. But even at half throttle it seems to be drowning.

Is this the typical experience with these tanks or have I set up something incorrectly?
