Default New Engine Break in On or Off

That is basically exactly how OS tells you to break them in, Like someone said earlier they keep fiddling with thier engines. I set my needle at the time I first start to break my engine in ( rich I do use a tack and set it about 500 RPM under the max) and latter I lean it out a little at a time. BUT after that only when its really humid do I need to make a small adjustment. OF course I am only a sport flyer and not a compititon flyer so I assume they need a different set of tolorances than I have.

Dennis,
Where do you get a TAC?
I looked through both of TH catalogs and don't see them listed there.
BTW,
On my OS 40 I had to make on adjustment after the third or 4th tank and have not made any more since and have 20+ hours on it.
I also run it very rich.
Idles nice and slow and never stalls out
