RE: how to tune it when u first get it
When you first get a new nitro you usually leave it at factory settings for the break in process. It will be difficult to start the first few times because the pinch and compression is soo tight. Once break in process is done you can start leaning it out. Run 20% nitro and get an extra plug or 2.

Like he said you shouldn't have to reset the needles or do any thing when you first get it, at the most you may have to tweek the idle needle alittle bit once you get it running.

I had to tweak my idle a little bit just to get it fired up, and to keep it running. I did richen the needle valve a little bit, just to be on the safe side. I did not have a temp gun at the time, and didn't need it getting hot.

use the spit test, spit on the finger, whipe the head, if it sizzles off witing a second or two its too hot, if it evaporates in 5 seconds or so your ok
