Was weird trying to wrap my head around the 7 sec pinch for idle screw adj. then adjust low end needle. also have the longlsn in it. Thanks for putting that up on your web site.
No worries Matt. That system is something I got off Mark at Massive Mods for tuning the long lsn carbs, but it works equally as well with short needles too. The key is getting that idle gap set right, then everything else falls into place nicely.
It would be safe to say the wide idle gap, rich bottom, lean top scenario is the most commonly found tuning mistake made out there (it's the "average woman tune" so the boys say - wide gap, a fat bottom, and lean on the top end)
is it ok to say that on here ??
By setting the idle gap first you pretty much eliminate the possibilty of this occuring, and you end up with a much more athletic physique
Glad to hear your up and about too
