Default RE: help with engine problem

It's too lean. Period.

After only 3 tanks of fuel, it's not time to completely lean out your new engine. The "pinch test" is a much more reliable indicator of fuel mixture. With the engine at full throttle, briefly pinch the fuel line. If the engine sags and dies immediately, it's too lean. If it increases speed slightly then begins to sag, the mixture is about right.
