Factory settings are VERY rich, especially for an engine that's broken in.
Here's the flow chart. There's a link with it to print it full page.

To the OP, how much fuel has been run through it?
A sign of a worn out engine is it starts & runs till it warms up then die's and will not restart till cold again.
You need to put new friction pegs in the spur use all 12, set the mesh correctly and tighten down the nut tight
& then back it off between 1/8~1/4 turn.

Nice thread jack! You really need to start your own thread for your RC issues instead of posting your issue in someone else's.
