i can't see how it would matter about my end point adjustment, since the needle is what controls the gas flow.
with eng. off turn on your radio then the receiver, pull the filter so you can see in the carb and see how far the carb is open. if the servo horn is set right loosen the round pull nut and push the carb linkage so that carb only opens to 1mm at idle.
