It took a couple of gallons for mine to settle down. But I also soldered the choke plate hole shut too. A whole lot easier starting now.

However the quitting in the air and loss of RPM's when pulling off from high throttle are a sure sign of too rich of a low end.... that's of course assuming NO air bubbles, leaks or other plumbing or pulse port problems.
BTW: On one of mine I had tons of problems getting the engine started. And once I did get it started and tuned it seemed like I could not start it again no matter what I did.
I pulled the carb apart and found a couple of brass slivers over/under the flapper valve material. This carb came from walboro with the shavings that way!
While I was in there I cleaned the screen.
After putting everything back together the engine starts SOOOO easily and runs very very well. I've seen the max RPM's rise about 400 RPM or so after the first few flights.
Too funny! Make sure you go to the sticky at the top of the gas forum so you can learn to practice safe idleing

High Plains, your real job must be comedy writing ! That is the funniest thing I have seen in these forums in decades. I have been howling so hard I had to reach for my heart pills!
