I turn the HSN at 1 hour turns but it does not seem to work. Am I still running the bottom end too rich? Or do I need to go leaner on the HSN I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
If it is going flat on top, then I would suggest richening it quit a bit (3-4 hrs) to see if it gets better. If its goes too rich, you can always lean it out again. Rich is better than lean. Once you get the top right, you can readjust the lsn.
