I also tried backing...

As stated above, I've already replaced the needle seat. It's not belled.

And no, taking off with an engine that won't idle reliably will not sort itself out in the air. When it won't idle long...

JesseeOpen- is that the carb upgrade kit? Or is there more to it? I don't see a kit that include a LSN. Maybe that's hardened steel and not prone to damage?

I put a new one in when I started the process. I bought 2 at the time, so I could try another one.
Is there one that generally works better than the OS F plug?
