i used the heatgun on it and put foil round the head and it fired first pop but wouldnt keep running( very rich i think) i had to leave the glow ignitor on for it to keep running? is this normal?

also i was only using not even quarter throttle and thing looked like it would pull a tree stump out the ground. is it to lean? its got heaps of smoke splattering all over the joint tho so im confused!

everything is brand spanking new ive only ran 1 tank so far like that but wanted to get some advise b4 i keep going with it.


cheers brett


Lean out your low end until it will idle properly. You "may" have to richen up the high end just a tick if it is already clearing out when you give it throttle. Sounds like you are doing everything just fine. Make sure your temps stay above 200F so you dont develop slop in your rod. Good luck and have fun the 5 port is a power house.
