Well, it sorta depends on the temp there.

you need to tune for the weather, if its really cold then lean it out because the air is more dense

if its hot (highly doubt it) then richen because the air is less dense.
This is wrong!!!!!!!!

Cold air IS denser and that means it has more oxy which means it will run leaner which means that you should RICHEN up the engine
Warm air is less dense so there is less oxy which means you need to lean it a little bit.
Again:
Cold=dense=lean=richen.
Warm/hot/humid=less dense=rich=lean it out.

Jeeze, I wish people would quit posting stuff that they don't know about.
