After I started the engine with the initial setting I tached it greater than 7000 rpm. I further richen the needle SEVERAL more turns and still ended up with more than 6000 rpm -- I didn't go any further because I almost totally unscrewed the needle and it still didn't go any slower. I did reduce throttle down to 6000rpm.
Jim,
I experienced the same thing on a recent project. But I used medium fuel line throw out without a cline regulator on my Moki 1.80. I too could not get a reading of less then ~6500 at full throttle with high speed needle screwed out until it almost fell out. I replaced all the medium tubing with large tubing including the clung and brass tubing in the tank. Now I can get a very rich run at full throttle. So you may need to do that.
