I usually like to see the motor cool down at least 2degrees every couple of seconds wen it revs down and is idling; maybe that's too rapid of a cool-down. Maybe the motor was a tad too rich?. I also tend to lean the top out a bit more since the bottom is rich. I need to re-think my tune definitely. Have to find a proper balance between the two settings. This motor is defintely worth keeping in the arsenal for sure.
I believe that the bottom needle should be tuned first. That way, your top needle tuning becomes pretty straightforward, along with your idle. It's way more difficult attempting to tune the top needle first.
