Okay the night set in on me but this is what I accomplished:

By turning, the low out to 2.5 this would drop the idle to 1800 within 5 seconds 20 seconds later the motor would drop to 1100-1200 or cut off

By turning the low back to the factory setting 1.25 the idle would hold at 1800 then creep down to 1650-1700

The high is about one or 1 1/4 getting 6300 on a 26 x 10 Menz

The transition is better with the needle set at 1.25 right now almost instance throttle response.

With the low out, over two the idle was better but the clean up was not right away about 5-8 seconds to clean up.

one the last cut off before the night set in I moved the low end in to 1 or 1/18 then the kick back was there so I let the motor cool off to see if i would get one more in before the vampires come out. It was like the carb got flooded just sitting.

When I first tried to start the motor I tried the flip it six times with the choke on ignition off then turn on the power and the motor started on the second flip cool!

I have a brison 3.2 and 3W-150 and they all idle lower than this baby will run right now. It is shaky idle until it cuts off on the 1100-1250 area if it runs that long. The motor will get this low idle when or if it make those drops out of no were. I would think I should be it 1400 RPM idle like it's cool.

At 1800 RPM, you have one fast taxi bird. What idle are you all getting? I can start all of my other gassers and they would not run after you. What are the symptoms of needing rings since this is an older motor? I would imagine loss of compression or low power (hum) [X(]

I will be back at it on Saturday to see what I find out with the low end. I am hoping i can get a clean drop to 1400-1500 RPM
