I'm having a few problems with my G3.0 I have just broke my engine in, and slowly starting to apply full throttle. I haven't changed any needles, so they are all at factory settings, however it is displaying all of the signs of too lean! At full throttle, it boggs down and looses a lot of RPM, then eventually dies if i hold the throttle down.

I'm not too sure why this is happening, esp. as i have not touched the needles.

Status: offline 		I tell you what, I found that for the first 10 or so tanks you will need to tune it almost every time. I would richen it up just a little bit, but watch it though it will start "4-cyclin" real fast, I had to make mine a full turn lean before it started to respond nicely
