When you have it reliable fly until the tune is obviously in need of change, usually leaner in most cases. Fly again until changes are needed again and repeat.........if you feel the need to be constantly tuning then you are over-thinking
the process. Once you find the sweet spot leave it alone. I have large Chainsaws that have gone for years w/o carb settings requiring changes.......... Big Weather changes may alter things a little, but not a great deal.
After I get the carb adjusted correctly, I use a mixture screw clamp to keep them in place.
