Default RE: EME new engines, 35,60 & 120 twin

Got a chance to run a tank through the EME 120 this evening. I intended to fly but I couldn't get a consistent idle so I opted to run a few more tanks. It seems like the timing is a little advanced because it likes to pop before you get all the way through TDC when starting and sometimes misfires through the carb. Also it dropped a cylinder when idling around 2000 RPM so I am not sure what is going on just yet. I am at 4700' elevation so keep this in mind, however I was getting 5600 RPM from a Menz 28x12. I would have liked to see 5800 to 6000 but I am not expecting much from the first tank. I can say it pulls like a truck and I can't wait to get her in the air to see how much. It's too early to give a good review yet so just consider this an update for now. I am at 1 and 1/2 turns for both H and L now.
