bob, as After Heat cycling, I am running around easy and the engine temp usualy will take a sudden engine temp drop , I will lean the hsn 1/2 hr at a time.I try keeping temp around 210 , also the LSN can and will effect the engine temp, I always run the LSN rich ( engine will load up at 10-15 sec of idle) during breakin. But I do not want the LSN so rich I die easy because its over rich( I always try and keep the engine running to prevent from having to start the engine over again). I will usualy set the LSN correctly after I feel the engine is pretty much loosened up well ( broke in). Also remember when you lean the HSN it will lean the LSN at the sametime to some degree, Hope this helps, Dave

Default prime

another question - when pre-heating the block with a heat gun, the pressure seems to push the fuel out of my primed fuel line. When I try to reprime before starting, it doesn't take. It has to cool down to about 140 before the prime will take.

I do have a relatively short fuel line, will try a long one coiled one like in the video, but figured I'd ask anyway.

apollo , if fuel bleads back while preheating, - put the glow igniter on with right hand, put a left hand finger on the pipe outlet and push down with the ingniter so, priming it back up to the carb while turning over the engine at same time , when you see the fuel hit the carb then just release your finger , then if needed you have a hand free to work the remote or the carb slide to get er fired up, Dave
