Wont that effect the HSN, im guessing that after you retune the LSN you need to go back and make an adjustment to the HSN.

What should the idle tempature be on a motor.
The high speed needle changes the low speed needle. The high speed needle actually feeds the low speed needle. So you first tune the high speed needle and when that is how you want you then tune the low speed needle.

The high speed needle is the one pointing up in the air and where the fuel line connects to, the low speed needle is the one in the front of the carb where the throttle linkage connects to. I know that's basic info right there but sounds like you may have them backwards in your mind. If not, sorry and don't take offense.

Idle temp is unnecessary to know since you need to tune the high speed properly before tuning the low. If your high end is out of whack it makes no difference if your low end is correct because as soon as you change your high setting the low will change also even though you did not touch the needle.
