how far open is the gap at idle, have you reset the needles, have you tried tuning it, have you sealed for air leaks, read the nitro guide at the top of this forum, this thread is like right underneath it, the engine will rev when it is running lean, or it gets more air

air leak[&o] sounds like its getting extra air causing it to run lean.

doesnt matter how good your homemade gasket was, you need to slea it with rtv silicone because it seals every crack if you do it right
