    sounds like a mixture problem, can't think if it's rich or lean, but try resetting both hsn and lsn.
    hi: between 2.5 and 2.25 turns out
    lo: 1.5 (i think) or just flush w/ throttle arm
    idle: 1.5mm opening when throttle closed

    also could be a leak, possibly in fuel lines, or engine seals, or a bad tank primer.

    sounds like it's running to lean, you could have a leak in the fuel lines or tank. You could be getting air in the fuel system somehow but before you check anything else try richening the fuel mixture and see if that helps.

    are you driving it right after it starts, if you are try letting it idle for a minute or so to warm the engine up. This may help.
