Default Picco .27- anyone still or used to have one?

anyone with experience on this motor? the picco .27 with the green head? my friend got one a couple years back and barely got through the break in. recently i got it back and running so he can sell his savage. the high end ran really good with good smoke. the low end had a nasty dead spot. i could not find the sweet spot on the low end to rid of the dead spot. could it be an air leak? he oiled it real well while it sat so no rust formed.

Im still running one and have a new one sitting in its box.

Dont know what to tell you though as mine has been trouble free except for user mistakes back when i first got it. If you like i can get you the factory settings later when i get home.

Ok i just went through the manual and there are no factory settings [] sorry. Seal it just in case, it wont hurt. I can tell you that the LSN likes to be on the rich side. Go back to flush and go from there. Check the plug, you might need a new one.

Good luck.

Rule of thumb...and also good practice would be to seal everything. Carb, Fuel fitting, backing plate, etc. You're already there and already have the engine out.

The LSN likes to be around 7.5 turns out. On my 28 its the same, the LSN went richer if anything after break in.

I never had any Picco engines, I only read about them and know some of the design specs of the .21 P7.

For this .27ci pico, can you disassemble it and post pics of the sleeve ports and the crank? If possible, I am curious what the internal passage ways look like if you are able to take pics of those too.
