I'll give this a try. I picked this up at a swap meet and it hardly had a tank through it, guy couldnt keep it running. The LSN was way out of whack, it would only run with the GP lit, when the power was removed it would quit. I reset the LSN to where it is even with the bevel and it fired up and ran, haven't touched it since. It will idle at a very low RPM for a long time, but feels like it loads up at half throttle after a while. I only have about 3 full tanks through it, but I think it can run better than it does, so will pull the cowl and try to tweak it some more to see if I can get it to run better.
