The high speed needle is pretty easy to tune so i don't thing i have it wrong there.
Although i haven't checked my rod and bearings to be honest.
I'm not saying you don't know what you are doing or that you can't tune. It's just that these engines require a bit different approach and you are better off by going the longer route as it pays off eventually.

If you rung good on start and then loose power after half a tank you are lean on HSN not on LSN. If you say fattening LSN makes it worse so this backs up the above assumption. I had this same issue before I figured it out with a help from MM. Strange thing was that you were like 5min off on HSN and started to have the issue. I ended up fattening HSN about 7-10min and leaned LSN about 20min and had also much lower temps after that.

Have you checked the plug color ? It's a good indication where you are going.
