Unbelievable difference!! The low speed needle was almost 2 turns too far out (rich). I turned it in until it hesitated on transition. Went back a bit more than 1/8 and the transition was fine. Tweaked the high speed needle a bit but left it a bit rich. Still want to run her more before I tweak it out. Couldn't fly because of a loose strut on my horiz stab. BUT, timed it at 4500 rpm which is about half throttle. I made sure it was a little faster than my last test. The first time, it ran 6 min 45 sec and quit. This time it went 17 1/2 minutes with some rev up every once in a while. I got sick of waiting for it to run out of fuel. Shut it down and it took 16 cranks of my Hobbico fuel punp to empty the tank the rest of the way. That is about a third of a tank. WOW!

I'll tweak a bit more but this is going to be way more fun, not to mention a lot cheaper. Will cut my fuel bill to about a third of what it was.

Bet I get at least 10 minutes of whatever flying I want to do now.

Thanks everyone. I'll do my 100 next time.

BTW, a LOT less fuel and oil on the airplane. Guess that should have been a big clue to me before but I just don't have enough experience with these four strokes. This has been a great lesson. Wonder why Saito doesn't make this really clear in their instuctions?

Again, Thanks.
