Default 1.8 Cvh keeps stalling..

today i was trying to double check my prop was balanced but every time i tried to get it started the engine kept on stalling.

I havnt run the engine for some time now but cant see any reason why it just cuts off. Most of the time it doesnt start unless i put a tiny bit of fuel down the carb, at which point it will start, but after about 5-10 sec the engine will just stall.

If i start revving it abit it will run for about 20-30 sec, but again it still stalls after that. Im not sure what it could be, but i thought it would be a fueling problem, so i ran it from a bottle to the fuel line and fuel flow seemed fine. it does seem to idle quite high and still is running rich from what i can see? any suggestions? i have tried playing with the idle speed and air/fuel screws on the carb but not to much success, i could be being a complete idiot with them though..

Thanks!
