my b5 is about to hit puberty!


Idling like a champ. No need for extra shim


I also quit running the heat cycle method that is sticky at the top. Heat cycle yes, but at that pace? no. I have used that method on two motors and for me it's just not enough break in. The engine literally TELLS you when to lean and by how much.

I also think there is alot of bad info out there in regards to tunning. I can't count how many times i was told to tune the HSN first. This only works (to some degree) on the old O.S. carbs.

Keep it hot with the sock! Start down low till idle gap is set on the slightly rich side, then go HSN and lean down as needed

and i like to really take my time. It might take me a week to fully break in and have it reach full puberty

but i might only run 5 tanks a day. When i take my time, the needles really don't move that much at all from factory.

Just talking out loud here.
