If you start leaning the bottom end a little at a time [then repeat the revving up and idle test] and it takes longer before the idle drops your going in the right direction.""
I find that the longer the time until high idle drops it's too rich. If idle never comes down it's too lean or needing idle adjustment.. ?
Monty?? Help with this one.
that is what he is saying , when the idle stays up in rpm then you are getting it close to proper tune with a leaner low speed , once it stays up at idle then you lower the idle rpm's until desired .
tuning is not easy , trust me . takes a while to figure it out and even then there are some mind boggling situations that you have to really use your kanoggen to figure out
the newer style cavity barrel with long needle nova carbs are even more fun
