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.
Looks like the issue was a leak from the pinch bolt. Sealed it up with some red RTV, after replacing the piston/sleeve (which did nothing for tune), issue solved. Sending it!
