Hi Franc
To prevent confusion we say "leaning out" not "thinning of"

If you are not using a Tettra tank Or Jett tank (bubble-less/bladder tank)do so. You will find that that will help.

Can you rotate your engine mount to lower the intake any? How about raising the tank? That and the jett or tettra bladder tank should help. If thats not enough you may have to launch the plane a little mote rich to start with

You may have fuel foaming issues. Check for vibration

Just do what every racer at any pylon race would do - open the needle valve more. Don't worry about foaming, how high or low the tank is, etc.
