The high needle came 6 turns out and I started it 3 out and then ran up to 190 then started turning out to cool it and didnt bog down till 7 or so out then once it cooled turned in turn or 2 and ran up 200 did this for 2 tanks then nite time and plan on running some fuel though tonight, the problem is with the low end and plan on switching the needle and try that is that it?
I think this is the most confusing paragraph of what the problem is.
What is the problem with the tune? Won't idle, runs then cuts off, etc.
You shut it down at 190 and richened the mixture to cool it down. You need to get it over 200 when breaking it in.
