It's moving, I can take the air filter off and close it if I want to and watch it slowly close. No bind. It still doesn't affect motor RPM literally at all. I'm actually starting to think there's some sort of air leak or compression leak. Could be fuel and I'll try to order some VP 30% to test it out. The fact that there's so much fuel residue all over the car, not just out of the exhaust and having such a hard time tuning, maybe the bearings are shot or there's a leak somewhere? For a new engine that's stupid but things happen and it wouldn't surprise me.

Also big difference between taking big blind swings and wanting to test that turning something to the extreme does absolutely nothing. If I know I turned it 3 full turns I can always turn it back. I wanted it to die and/or I wanted it to rev up and start moving on it's own etc... Sadly it did neither.
