It could be too rich on the Lsn setting ,try a pinch test on the fuel line ,if it takes a long time to die ,then its too rich!..:cool:

ok thx i will try that i also found my lsn very loose. idk why i alwas forget to do the pinch test get to exited i guess lol
 
A retune is where I would start as well. Go thru the whole thing, from idle gap thru to fine tune and see what you've got. Also, just verify you haven't got a weird mechanical issue like stripped servo gears or something else preventing throttle servo from operating the carb properly.
 
I would also check the throttle return spring as well to make sure it has some tension on the servo so that it will close the throttle if the servo loses power.
