Today I messed with the Vertigo .07 I had not set the low end needle from the stock carb, after some fiddling the lil engine was able to idle down to 6,379 not bad with the 4.75x4. No pressure yet. Today I used 1/2A fuel line and a smaller remote NV and lost about 800 rpm on the top end.. conclusion thirsty engine!
