I'm running a TRX 3.3 on 25% Tornado fuel.
I have a new tank fitted and have fitted new fuel lines. The air filter is cleaned regularly.

I have returned the engine to factory settings and tuned from there, getting leaner on both HS & LS needles.
The truch seems to start quite well, euns really nice when its cold but after a few minutes just stops and then takes a while to re-start.
I've tried the pinch test when the ngine is warm, but it just stops, no rev-up.
Temps have never exceeded 220F and the ambient is about 65f at best.

I seem to be going through plugs quite quickly, the last one, an OS No8 lasted just one tank.

The attached images are of a McCoy MC59 (on the left) and an OS No8 on the right.

Can anyone offer me any tuning advice at all please?

Sorry, the above images are of the same plug, my mistake.
This is the OS No8
