definitely never heard of a grp liking a lean top and a rich bottom i mean never ever heard that before ....if your motor only has a gallon on it and still has good compression ...i would look elsewhere for the problem ....airleaks,glow plugs ,exhaust leaks , gas tank leaks, fuel filter leaks ...im just sayin ..the motors are good ...you may have other issues ....if you cant get it right and go back to nova rossis ...pm me i will buy your grp's ........the grp tuned is the best tuning and just best motor ive run ....

Get an O'Donnell plug for it and tune it with a little lean on the bottom and a little rich on top.

Lean bottom, rich top and a OS P4 plug. Engine will idle for minutes, not seconds, makes great power and gets unreal run time!

I did that and had tons of bottom end but I was dead flat on the top end. Oh, and I flamed at the 3 minute mark, twice.

All these advice, I wish you guys were around my way. I really like the engine for the quality alone, but it's just a big headache for me.
