I had a jammin x-2 that had the seal on the fuel tank cap go bad that caused same problems. On my mg-66 when it dropped it's nuts same thing. Took out break in shim,put in new plug retuned,still runnin like a raped ape!!! hope this helps.
im going to go through the hole thing this week, install new tank, seal carb and back plate (again) new plug, try differnt carb, see if that does the trick. if not, guess ill put the v-spec back in
