Rich is counterclockwise
Lean is clockwise

hi! i'm using os 12tz p5 engine and have finished break-in. i've ran the car in the track, and after running the straights, i notice the engine would stay rev a bit higher than idle for 5-10 seconds after i release the throttle. my needle settings is still rich on the HSN and flush on the LSN.
i know its not the serv0-carb linkage as i've checked and it closes everytime i release the throttle.
anyone happen to know how to remedy this?

I would recommend reading the article by Ron Paris...very informative.
It sounds like the idle screw is in to far and the bottem end screw is rich giving you a "false" idle.

usually this happen your tuning on high-end is richer then your low-end.

lean abit on high-end or rich a bit on low-end.

this 5-10 second will reduce.

the article flack mentioned really helped. i ultimately found out i was on "false idle" as my carb idle opening was more than what was required yet the idle was OK. i've notice before i change the carb setting that no matter how i richen the low end, it would still rev high after releasing the throttle from WOT.
will test the tuning more this weekend...

thanks again flack
