Default Strange Regulator setting on 110

Hi Dave,

I've about 4 gallons Wildcat 20/20 through my 110. I have set the valves to .003". Running ok, but I seem to need a very lean regulator setting to get the engine to come off idle good. I've had to slowly turn the regulator in from flush as the motor broke in. The regulator needs to be 3/4 to 1 turn open (from full in)in order to transition good, and thats a long way in from flush. If I open it up more, it just bogs(smokes) and very slowly transitions. Also, the engine does not want to hold a steady high rpm. It winds up to 9300rpm with a APC 16-6, but then falls back to around 9000. High speed needle needs to be around 1 turn open to get max power. Idles great, and generaly runs like it should other than this. I looked at the diaphram, and it has a dished out appearance in the center. Anything unusual going on here? Thanks for any insight.

Kevin
