Greetings. Brand new wanna be pilot here. I've had my NexStar for almost 2 months now but everytime I go to take lessons it is too windy. The instructor says that winds usually calm down enough around the end of June.
BAAAAAH! Anyways I'm gettin real itchy so I fired up the engine yesterday.
As per the instruction booklet for my OS .46 FXi engine, I adjusted the throttle to idle without the engine stalling. Then I proceeed to let the engine idle for 5 secs and then bring the throttle wide open.
The engine hesitates almost stalls and take awhile to get to full throttle.
Again as per the booklet, this seems to mean that the mixture is too rich so I move the mixture control screw (which is the one with a spring on it next to the carb, right? not the needle vlave wich is behind the motor) 15 to 30% clockwise to see if it improves. I don't see any changes so
I keep doing this until I have the screw turned a whole 360% and still get the same results. No improvments. Am I doing this right and why does the engine sputter/hesitate/almost stall when I give full throttle.

Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.
