Thanks guys, I found a flying buddy who got one of these motors new, he is more of a collector of planes than a flyer so I have never seen him fly this motor yet, but he had the directions.
It states in his manual that my starting point for my needles should be at 1,1/4-1,1,5 on L needle and 1,3/4-2 on the high needle
So I check were I was and I was at like 2 1/2 on both needles so I was way off.
I only kept adding more fuel on the low needle becouse it was said the backfireing and poping could becouse it was lean, but maybe it was just to rich.
So I will try this, if not, Im going to check the timeing, ( Becouse it will be easy to do with out pulling the motor off this bird.
IF not pull the motor, wihc is a pain! to check the carb screen.
Thanks for all the pointers.
You need to get someone to help you tune the engine that truly knows how to carefully listen to the engine and carefully adjust it to run correctly or to make a decision as to whether it is mixture or ignition?
All this talk of turns out of the needles tells me that you actually have little clue as to what you are doing in adjusting the carburetor?
I have more than 60 two stroke engines and could not tell you how many turns out the carb needles are on any of them. But they run correctly.
