I run a fioroni turbo clutch on both and have recently went to stiffer springs on the clutch and changed from a JP3 and JP4 pipe to a dynamite 053 pipe. Helped out a bunch on the bottom end. The other problem I have had since after break in is at aprox. 1/4- 1/2 throttle it sputters like the bottom is real rich but if I lean the bottom it starts to rev like a lean bog. I have only ran GRP plugs (C5 & C4) once I hit1/2 through wide open it cleans out and runs like a s.o.b. My current needle positions are aprox. 4 1/4 on HSN and 4 3/4 on LSN. I'm stumped, my run time on these settings are parox. 11 - 11 1/2 min. My gut tells me my glow plugs are not burning properly. ANY ADVISE would be appreciated.

THANKS
4 1/4 out from bottom on the hsn ? sounds to rich ..mine are 3.25 out from bottom on the hsn .....on the lsn stock is 6.25 out from bottom ...on the hsn stock is 3.5 truns out from bottom ...its easy to get them scrambled ...your mind is telling you to adjust the hsn like on other motors but the lsn is what you should be adjusting ....in very small turns ...a little goes a long way ..take it back to stock settings ...put a new plug in it ....make sure everything else is sorted .....fuel line , carb sealed ..gas tank ok ....you should be able to dial it back in from there ..i always go back to stock if i think ive got things to far out
