TT39 giving me grief...

I have a brand spanking new TT39 in a 30 V2 however the engine is always abruptly quittin gin flight. It doesn't bog or give any hint that it's gonna quit...it just suddenly dies. i was trying to break the motor in last night with some low hovering but I was only able to hover for about 20 seconds before it would die. It starts really great and idles fine, but it just doesn't want to stay at high rpm. I am running CP15%, hangar 9 super plug and a MP2. I tried changing plugs to a OS8, but itw as still the same problem. I am going to try it without a fuel filter again today to see if it makes a difference (perhaps the filter was plugged). I've been tuning glow engiens for 10 years to I have a good idea of where to look, but I'm wondering if anybody else has had this problem. Maybe it's something really simple that I am over looking. The motor doesn't have any more than 3 or 4 minutes on it. The needle settings as as per the book.

WAYYYY TO lean... Try turning it out about 2 turns, and see if it will run like that, keep leaning it out about 1/4 turn per tank. You should be able to get it to run @ book settings within 5-7 tanks. Your situation sounds typical of most motors.... Just breaking in. ....

Dont even hover it for the first tank or so.... Than after that only hover for a few seconds, after about the 5th tank you can hover as long as you want, and after the first gallon, LEAANN THAT SUCKER OUT AND GO LIKE MAD !!!!

yup...lean it was. i turned out the needles and it made all the difference in the world. it's got about 3 tanks through it and so far, so good.
