150F seems awful low for an engine break in. You need to get some heat in that engine to break it in.... You could just be WAY too rich and the plugs keep gumming up or predetonating? Get it up to 190+ for break in, but keep it under 220ish. No hard and fast rule....but most break in guides tell ya to get some heat in there so the sleeve has a chance to expand properly.
