does anyone have the base settings for it?
as i had to lean my bottom end by roughly 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn to get it to idle nicely once i did this though the first tank idled through very well.
I had a football sock over the head and the temps stayed in the 190- 220F range as the tank emptied very impressive start to run in. as it beds in ill lower the idle screw but so far happy happy.
Sounds about right we had to wind the LSN in the same amount from the factory. The HSN is very touchy........ we run the HSN on our MG 66's flush with maybe an hour either way.
We only idled ours for about 1min (just to warm it up) then straight on the track at about 90% race tune (we call it the honeymoon period for the first tank). Then over the next 3 -4 tanks we increase to full race tune.
Since then this engine has done 10 litres still has grreat compression at TDC, no slop on the conrod and between 9 - 10 min runtimes from a buggy.
