scoot runs fine up to say half throttle but when I give it a fist full it hits a point in the revs were it starts to splutter and wont clear if I hold it open. I upped the main to a 128 which improved it but its still there,although if I put choke on it takes off like a scalded cat. Does this mean I need to go bigger on the main. Greatful for any pointers.

the fact that it runs better at all with the choke on means that its weak over 1/2 throttle ...a bigger main jet may correct this but it could be also that your atomiser/needle combination is weak also ...my advice is to get it on a dyno .
