Status: offline 		I got 2-3 feet of snow. i hate snow. it melts fast here in colorado though, but its been really wet from melting snow. but finally my street dried so today I was just about to go outside to breakin my car and it started snowing again. im ticked. i wish i lived in california or florida. i was gonna go to a nuggets game tonight and thats probably gonna be canceled for us. its suppost to snow 5-10 inches. snow is all bad. i cant believe people like snow. whats so cool about it or fun about it? it riuns plans its cold, you have to shovel. theres nothin good about it, i guess sleding is fun, as long as its dangerous and fast and you run the risk of goin to the er, thats the only fun sleding. lol. anyone wanna trade places??lol.

I do to, but only overnight, and it still makes me a little nervous. Most of the time i run it out, just to be on the safe side of life. I break enough parts as is, i dont want to destroy the motor over a little gas.

Status: offline 		I don;t always run my engines dry and sometimes leave fuel in the lines but I have never had anything detrimental happen to the engines either.

Just going back to the tuning issue. If its flooding all the time its likely to be that the LSN is far too rich. Lean it up until the engine starts. This is not uncommon. Also factory needle settings are rarely correct so take them "with a grain of salt".
Also I find that unscrewing the plug all the time to drain it is a pain so sometimes you can drain it by tipping up and draining the fuel out the pipe and then try again. Its also a handy way to tell if the LSN needle is too rich. If you are having trouble starting and there's raw fuel coming out of the pipe when you tip it up, its definately too rich down low.

Status: offline 		if im not mistaken the low speed needle should be about flush with the carb body, and the highspeed stetting verys from place to place (elevation) and even wheather when u run it, you will prolly have to adjust it a little every time u run, its just a fact of life in small block nitro.
