My Paloma has an idle issue that I can't seem to figure out. It'll start no matter what somewhat high with the wheels spinning... then about 45-60 seconds in they'll stop spinning and I let it warm up to operating temp. After I'm at operating temp (at least 220F), I can give it any kind of throttle and let it go back to idle, which it'll then idle high for 15-20 seconds, then go down to it's normal idle. It's somewhat common from the searches I've done, but I can't lean the LSN any further. I can find the perfect point for my LSN before it starts lean bogging on bottom end... Should I be leaning out the top end and then going from there?
This engine holds a tune so dang well, it starts within a second every. single. time. Stays running, too, even with a bad tune.
41001/9886 combo, #6 plug, 8mm carb insert. Fresh air filter. 25/9 VP fuel.

My internet guess would be your hsn is a bit lean. When you close your throttle it revs high as if it’s lean, but then settles down once it’s been running on the LSN.

airleak?
sometimes you just need to start at a base setting
5 turns from full closed on LSN 4 turns from closed on HSN
be sure to pull linkage open before running LSN in

Is Mephisto better in terms of fuel consumption versus Mantra?

they made the crank a tick bigger per novas site. different glow plugs. different carb. 3 needle like the rolling. and better cooling head and they say different exhaust to use.. I can give more on this when it shows up Friday and I can put the 2 motors side by side.. jeremy

The only thing that make any real difference is if they have changed the crank in timing or bore etc, all the rest is the same between them. The carb could have slight difference in how it feels and tunes, but not in power.
But measure the timing and get back to us.

I have an elite 5 paired with a 41021, and a 2096 pipe. I have about a gallon and a half on it. It is a great motor but I am looking to get a little more power. Would changing pipes help in yhis, or should I attempt to remove a shim?
