Then I do one bottle rich(lots of smoke and very little power), let it cool. I start the next bottle where I left off with the previous one, but I lean it a bit each tank, by the the last tank the motor is almost on race tune, but 2 -3 hours rich, and letting it shift. I do one more bottle at that setting. Then its race ready, I haven't had any motors get scratched or heat spotted, as long as that procedure was followed.-
WOW 10 - 12 hours but good info thanks.
