Are you saying to turn the mid speed needle one turn out from flush?

Then tune low and top end? Reason I ask is mine runs great, bottom really smooth but the bottom needle is about 1 -1.5 turns out from flush.

Thanks
Just sharing.

From my guess, your MSN is about flush. That's explain your LSN is out. Nothing wrong. As long as you like it SMOOTH. I too like it smooth.

Reason:-

It is a lot simpler to drive. Very consistent lap times.


But on some track, especially the short ones meaning.....not a lot of run off distance between the jumps, you need the engine to be really responsive.

In your tuning, you might. I mean you might. Find it is sluggish. By moving the MSN needle out, it increases the engine responsiveness. Making the engine response to your throttle input. Allowing you take the jump with enough throttle input. Not over and not under. Over, nose high.....( brake to bring it down......) way under nose down.........( you need to throttle hard ) to get it back flat........therefore it will affect your confidence in those tricky jump.

Then you may retune it with the MSN out.....and LSN will be more inward. Just + and - but the engine comes alive in these tracks.

I have 2 carbs/engine.......ready. One for huge track with smooth jumps.....and One for small, twist and jump track.

If you get what i mean.
