the problem is, it idles on straight after full throttle.

for example, after going down our straight full throttle then braking for our turn, it idles high and takes like 3-4 seconds before it idles down.

if im holding the car in the air, and i open full throttle for a few seconds, then close it fully, it will idle high for a few seconds before it drops.

if i richen the bottom end any further, it will stall. if i lean the bottom end any more, it begins to hesitiate from a standing start.

if i try the pinch test, i squeeze the fuel line fully, it revs up very highly for a few seconds before dying.

any suggestions???
If Im not mistaking, its normal for Picco Based and Sirio Based to have a few seconds idling high after coming out of WOT. Its not like Nova based that they are supposed to idle down to idiling revs very fast.

But I agree, if after 1 minute, it should very much hesitate to go WOT. If it doesnt then your too lean on LSN.
