How lean will your engine will be or can you run it with no problems? Best is to listen to the engine and still check the temp from time to time.
You're into night driving now?

Basic needle setting for non turbo MT12 is:
3 turns out on your bottom needle
5 turns out on your top end needle
and the brass needle should be flushed with the carb body.
Hope that would help

I remember my first engine, a 5 port NovaRossi. I was so impatient and did not understand tuning that my car was usualy running at 150 degrees cel. Also, it would not idle ... after a few months the engine was loosing compression ... so now with a new lease of life (fresh sleeve, piston and conrod) I am able to run it beautifully ...
What I learnt was that you have to be patient ... tune a little and then run quite a bit to let it settle in.
Here is a great link for tuning ... nothing heavy but easily digested: http://www.donegal.flyer.co.uk/engine%20tuning.htm
