...Hey, what's the worst that could happen?
Hmmmmm... let me think.... thanks Barry! I'll remember that!

I leaned it out a bit this eve. At about 1.5 turns it started to run faster and it actually warmed up! It missed a lot less and I finally got that smell I love, that smell of burning fuel and oil. It idled pretty good, but I'll admit, it was a little warmer than I expected and it actually stopped fairly quickly with fuel still in it. I freaked out a bit and let it cool and then riched it up a bit and finished the run. I went back to 2.5 turns for a bit and it ran as usual and then I went to 2 turns. It still missed a little but it was obviously cooler acting and ran out the tank. I let it cool again, refueled and let it run at 2 turns for 1/2 tank and then leaned it to 1 3/4 turns and it seemed just fine so I let it run out till empty. It seemed fine although warmer than I was used to, I fueled it up again and ran it at the same setting, finished the tank, and then I pulled the plug and placed a few drops of Hobbico "After Run" oil and turned it through a few dozen turns before replacing the plug and quitting for the eve. I'm sure I was far from flaming the the thing but still, I was a bit nervous about the hotter run. My running times have increased quite a bit as well. This thing has some pulling power! I can only imagine what it will do with this light plane! It's going to pull it around like a feather! I see some fun flying in my near future!
