But one question for you and your engine tuning! Just quick ref should the top needle be in from flush just a tad bit? and the bottom right around flush? Also when i run the motor and come off the top end the motor revs up just a split second and hit low idle what do you think that would be? Im guessin air leak..
sweeet , thanks for the update !!!
if it doesnt want to run above those temps then that means it is a very efficient engine ,( runtimes? ) is it still pretty fresh? (under a gallon?)
does the engine sound like it is starving for fuel if you lean it out anymore ?
your low speed needle and idle setting is out of whack , usually too lean low speed
around flush and flush are close but more precise counting the needles
there is no magic needle settings but use the referenced needle settings in the threads if you are really struggling , many variables in carb adjustments , pipes , plugs , fuels , different cars have different tank pressures and so on

so keep all this in mind
