Running in COld
#32
Today, I started it up to run it a bit. It was about 20 degrees outside and right from the start my tuning was WAY messed up. Whenever I would do a half throttle drive by, it would stall and shut off. I brought it inside after 10 minutes of messing with the tuning and decided, maybe if I just reset the needles to factory settings, then retune tommorow when it will be close to 40 degrees out, it will work better. So I reset my needle to factory settings. Do you think this helped me a little by doing this? Will it be easier to retune tommorw no that they are reset?

Did I do anything that i will regret by resetting it? SO tommorow when its warm out, I can tune it and keep it like it is once it is tuned right, then richen it on the cold days and i will be fine?

You won't regret. Anytime when you get lost with your tuning, You should start from flush again. My quote before I overstated. 1/2 turn might be a little much. Some say 1hr etc... When your dealing with big temp swings, an hr isn't gonna be enough. Like I said before, with time and experience, you'll get it. remember to fine tune when the engine is warmed up.

I was just wondering if running a little bit rich is bad for your engine. To me, it makes sense that with no fuel, engine will wear out more because no fuel, lubrication. Although, I think that too rich may not have any negetive effects, just poor performance

Again, I had to reset my needles to stock settings. Last time it did, it took me little to no adjustments to tune it right. The reason I had to do so, was because when I was cleaning it earlier, the compressed gas blew the black thing over the carb slide off. The carburator got all messed up, took me about 3 hours to get it all back together and adjusted. Tommorow it will be about 50 degrees outside, so I think It wont be that hard to tune it
