Sounds as if the pilot jet may be too large which would explain that it runs OK cold but dies when it gets hot. try a smaller pilot jet and see if that improves things. You might also want to try running it with the gas cap open and see if that changes things.

Nice work! I have no skills but I'm fascinated with the whole trade. To build something that actually runs must be super rewarding.

Kazakhstan GP postponed until later in the year due to flooding in the country.

Sounds like the Kazakhstan round may take place Sep 22 instead of the India round. The India race is subject to cancellation because of late payment issues.
