RE: valid carb tuning technique
Not trying to promote an arguement but when you read answers to questions you should be asking yourself "What qualifies this individual to respond with an answer?", "What does the respondant know about the subject matter?", "Is that answer correct?" "What differentiates this answer from the 10 or 30 others, and why might it be correct?. Those are just the basics.
I'm definately not going to request RCU to censure posts due to supreme level of redundancy, but I will hope that each individual asking a question understands that just because they got an answer did not make it right. I "read it on the internet and it must therefore be so" only tells you how gullible you are. It does not imply any level of correctness.
This particulr thread is a good example. There is nothing new to be learned about tuning a small gas two stroke. However, there is a multitude of ways to confuse the issue and promote methods that make the process more difficult than it needs to be.
Ralph,
I know you're right, but I refuse to quit trying. That refusal to give up has made the company I work for many millions of dollars but it took a lot of forehead banging before it happened. The same process is in play here but it should ultimately be easier. Most of the people here don't have "m.e." after their name.
