Mixture settings totally messed up. Main event wasn't good, I didn't have time to retune it.
I checked the compression and it was good, still can feel the pinch and the rod play seems ok. Cylinder head torque checked.
Anyone have any ideas why my mixture settings got messed up? Something to do with the over revving?
Going to tear it down and inspect it this week for sure.

RUDEBOY:
I run my main jet needle 4-5 turns out, really depends on temp, altitude, pipe choice. Get it running and drive it and adjust main for best power, adjust low speed for idle quality, do the 'pinch test' for idle mixture to get a ballpark idea.
Looks like the engine is finally broken in, that's why the tuning went rich.
