Not fun. IF you really blip on it, it will stay higher. Comes down after you

let the engine sit for about 20 seconds.
it kind of sounds like it might not be in tune a little on the lean side on the low end.

what are your currend setting????

for air-leak test you can blow air threw a long fuel tube in the fuel intake. cover carb air intake and exhaust outlet with fingers or caps and use a small bucket of water
if no leaks are found heat engine with heat gun and retest.

to be safe from the start use rtv hight temp sealent on carb,carb holder nut "both sides" and backplate.


hope this helps
