L not have a problem clearing the tripple at fear farm, my kyosho barely makes it over with perfect timing and jump. The b5 I have in a mugen 6t.
Hi, assuming that your HS needle is open far enough to allow sufficient fuel flow into your engine, how your engine idles is dictated by your air gap and your low speed needle setting. So if you are running around and your engine is ideling high that would normally indicate that you have a too large air gap for the amount of fuel being supplied. In essence too much air, too little fuel=lean condition =high idle. So the fix is either to richen the LS or reduce the air gap. If you are following my break in instructions you will note that I mention that once you start leaning your HS needle it will also affect your LS which you can see as your idle speed will increase. So I tell you that at each step where you lean the HS 1-2 hours follow this by blipping the throttle and letting the engine come back down to idle. See how it idles and if it is too high, this means that your LS is too lean and you need to richen it a few hours and try again. If the idle is too low then your LS is too rich and you need to lean it a few hours.
Right now it sounds like you are getting a basic understanding of how and engine performs. Your paying attention to the right stuff and asking the right questions! Just try the stuff that I mentioned above and you should be able to get sorted quickly.
