if dies in 3 seconds to lean but if dies in 4-5 seconds or longer to rich
for starters that's the wrong way around - it it dies in <3s then richen it.

But basically this is a simply a good guide to know if you're in the right ballpark. It helps you know if your engine is running crap because of the HSN setting, or the LSN setting, or the idle gap setting.

harley75 it`s up to you to listen to me but what I do is I adjust everything till I see smoke, on idle it will be hard to see but what I do is make sure I see smoke and have good take off speed. If it bogs it`s too rich(but make sure you don`t lean out too much you need smoke). I`ve tuned all 3 of my redcats that way and they run incredible.
