I'm still trying to get this Magnum 1.08 broken in, but am having some trouble.
I think I've got the high end set, so now I'm trying to work on the idle.
Last week I put two tanks of fuel through it without much trouble.
So yesterday I start it up, and re-check the high end, and then try to idle. Here is where it gets strange.
As I get the throttle down toward the last couple clicks, it still idles pretty fast, so I take it down as far as it will go, and it speeds up[sm=confused.gif]
So I try reving it a little to get it to quit, and it won't, so I have to pinch the fuel line to get it to die.
I richened the idle, and it wouldn't start, put the idle back where it was, and still wouldn't start. Unfortunately the engine sits too high on the Dragon Lady so it's hard to keep fuel up to the carb when starting. I think this may be the reason I couln't re-start. I hope.
What's going on with the idle??

Couple more questions.
When I start it, I'm using a technique a guy at the field showed me. Prime the carb, and then flip the engine clockwise and let the compression kick it back the other way to turn it over. It has been working, but is this o.k. to do?

When people say "lean it out" shouldn't they really say "lean it in" since to lean it, you turn the valve clockwise, which is tightening it, and turning it in?
