I had hs needle flush and lsn about a turn in. Seemed if I took igniter off and rev to 1/4 throttle it would bog and shut off. I tried letting it idle with and without igniter and rich bof out. I put a new plug in thinking I blew the orig P3 I put in , but the same thing. I ended up putting the old plug back. Finally after 2 frustrating tanks I went to settings in instructions and threw it on ground and 1/4 throttled it around. It actually kept going.

I kept thinking it was gonna bog, but it didn't. The lsn is so sensitive. I got a full tank this way and did tank 4 the same way. It held idle!

I have the old style on the way, but and afraid to touch it.

I'm gonna keep the settings this way it is finish breaking in.
Anybody have a starting point for the "old style" needle if I decide to switch it?
I had a 5-port for a customer do the same thing. Runs fine now.
