Can anybody explain how to set up the idle gap to the right point for the GoTech 7 port? From reading the posts I gather that this should be somewhere around .7 - 1 mm? Is it just a visual thing after you remove your air filter? If so what does 1 mm look like, visually? I hate to ask dumb questions, but I think I have been suffering from an idle setting that is too high to compensate for the LSN set possibly too rich.

Again from reading the posts I think I am supposed to set the Idle gap to 1mm, then set the HSN for smoke and good power, then come back and work the LSN till I get a consistent idle, is that correct? My motor already has about 3/4 a gallon on it, but has been leaning out a bit at the end of runs. Lastly, can you hurt the engine with a LSN that is too lean if your high speed is blowing good smoke? Not sure how to set the LSN correctly, so thanks for any help.
