Never again will I run a first tank that rich. I knew better but thought I'd follow the manual. And I left it at the settings they had from the factory. Dumb. But if I reset them to what the manual specified it would have been way too lean. Should have just leaned the HSN some until it quit choking on fuel. Dumb.
