RE: problem with engine
reset the neddles back to factory settings then lean out the high speed nedle 1/4 of a turn and lean out the low spped 1/8 of a turn. start by slowly giving it gas and gradually go up ro full throttle and keep it there for abour 2 seconds. repeat, then put on ground and continue doing this. if it's still sluggish lean it out. also change the gloe plug if you havent already

RE: problem with engine
like everyone has said set everything back to factory and retune the motor, then do what i did and go out to your LHS and pick up a fail safe. I had one do the same thing, but instead of it hittin water right away like yours, mine went across an interstate then hit a flooded creek.
