You forgot to tell him to let the engine warm up a little before he starts on the needles. Cold engines don't adjust the way you think they are adjusting. We'll have to spank you for that, ya know...
A minor detail. [sm=red_smile.gif] I ASSumed he would have it warmed up after he started it and ran it up to WFO for 15--30 seconds.

SS is right -- give it a minute or 2 at idle to put a little heat in the cylinder and then rev her up a bit to get it up to proper temp.
