Get Byron Race3000, or Pro-driver3000 It's 30%, but don't lean out too much! Always watch for that thin trail of Blue smoke!! at full speed, if there's NO smoke than your too lean, richen the HSN 1/8th turn out. after tuning the HSN(high speed needle), start to tune the LSN, you want your throttle to be quick and instant!, but  NO Bogging up to get to full throttle., it should rev up quick.

Do you have a problem with the engine? Is it running inconsistantly?

Status: offline 		In general an air leak will cause the idle to be very erractic and the engine will be very difficult to tune.
I will hazard a guess that this is a tuning issue.
If the crankcase loads up with fuel it will cause a low idle speed...once this fuel is burnt the idle speed will increase.
