Default evolution 46

i have an evo 46 on of the early ones that came on a pulse pnp. the engine never ran reliably would flame out in mid flight all the time i recently took it all apart and cleaned it all up and found that the front crank bearing was leaking worse than i thought as i could see daylight around the inner race lol. replaced the front bearing re-assembled and now that it is put together i built a test stand so i could get it working proper before it goes into a new plane. with the engine on a test stand it actually starts not too bad at least better than ever before. it runs great at idle but when i rev it up it will stall out every time. i tried richening it up 1 turn and tried leaning it out one turn, both of these adjustments are from a base setment of 2.5 turn out from totally closed on the main needle adjustment. nothing done with the idle needle. any thoughts or tips or advise ? what should i check? what should i try? thank you.
