Also when accelerating from a standing start with full throttle engine tends to be slow for a couple of seconds then accelerates nicely. Is this too rich or too lean on LSN?

Thanks

I would be willing to bet you are a bit rich on the top end.

To check your bottom end, pinch the fuel line while it is idling and see how long it takes for the motor idle to change. should be around 3 seconds. if it is more then the bottom is fat if it is less than two seconds then the bottom is lean. Get that set right then go to the top end and adjust for your punch. you can fine tune from there.
