RE: O.S. 55AX dying
I have always used an a3 plug I think they have been renamed to os #6 the plug is hot enough to keep running especially with my engines mounted sideways. when running wot lean the hs needle til you get max rpm and then three clicks richer from there. check idle and adjust the needle after it has rested at idle for 20 seconds. is transition loggy like it is loaded up or does it stall like it is lean.
