sounds like your running too lean, try to richen the needles a 1/2 turn each and see if that helps. (richen is turning counterclockwise.)

No richen. Take your flathead screwdriver into one of needles first go LSN and turn it 1/4 a turn out so left or counterclockwise. Do the same for the gold needle (HSN). Let me know how it goes.

Your mesh must be off, realign your motor. You should hardly go through gears if your mesh is right. If you need more help just ask.
