I'm running the elite8. That's a short needle carb right? Lsn only comes into play when idling and first part of take off right?
If I go by the video, do I start the process with an idle gap of 0.5-0.6mm or should I start with a wider idle gap? If 0.5-0.6mm is about the right gap, to me, it seems like I need to start with a little wider idle gap to dial in the correct idle gap.You can start with the gap larger & LSN richer so that as you lean the lsn the idle rpm will increase & stay steady until you lower/close the gap
What is the cause of a temporary hanging high idle after wot? I've read it can be the idle gap is too big (what the video dials out) or the hsn is too lean. If both are true, how do you distinguish between the two (no boggin when wot). Any other causes of a hanging high idle after wot? People around me have said a lean lsn can cause this, but I haven't read anything credible that says this is true.
most often I see this with the idle gap is slightly too large & lsn is slightly too rich. So post WOT its hot & momentarily too rich thus you get a hanging idle
When leaning the lsn to get a high idle when setting the idle gap, how long should that high idle last?
it will maintain a high steady rpm until you close the slide via stop screw
I think I read it should remain high for at least 20 secs. If less, keep leaning lsn.
Thanks, in advanced, for your help.
