If the engine is fluffly and rich then just lean the LSN about 1/4 turn , chances are you wont get it to run till it gets a chance to burn the fuel properly , the other problem is with new engine you are fighting a war on 2 fronts.IF The engine is tight and its rich .. This is a shitty combo to keep running , rich settings will constrict the sleeve ie it wont expand through heat.

SO

recommendation is

Run a med to hot plug

about 20 % nitro

Will have a another go today and get another plug...........the leaflet that come with the engine states HSN 1-2 turns out? thats a hell of a variable one whole turn?

Anyways will try again with both needles flush and go from there, thanks for your help and anything else you can think of is appreciated

The serial numbers are US0000470 silver case and the other is US0000566. Any idea why they changed colors??? Which of these 2 motor's would benifit best with some mod work done to it. Or should I sell these 2 and get a new one.
Thanks Jim
