It runs with a lot of smoke, and i can feel little specs of gas from carburator when running with no air filter. Is there a way to tune it like factroy? The tuning has been moved so much now, im not even sure. It doesnt bog down either when i nail gas, and it idles for a while before quitting too.
Please help
try putting the hsn 4 turns out from all the way tight. and the lsn flush with carb body. and idle screw about 1mm open. let it warm up, make some passes, then bring it in and do a pinch test with your fuel line. it should rev up in rpm's a little for about 2-3 seconds then the engine should shut off. if it goes longer than 3 seconds, lean the lsn a little. if it shuts off sooner than 2-3 seconds, richen the lsn a little. then make a few more passes and try again. keep an eye on your temps also.
