RE: Thunder Tiger GP 61 help!!!
I tried that, I start it, then let go wide open and find the fastest rpm setting, then richen it about 200-300 rpms. THen i go down to adjust the low idle airbleed screw, with the engine still running, once i get it where it can idle down to about 4000 rpms, it will pass the 15 degree tilt up test. now that i set the high speed needle and have it idling good, it would seem as though i just tuned it out. BUT as now that it is idling good, as soon as a run it up to the high ends, it is running WAY to rich.
I set the high speed needle when the air bleed screw is about half covering the hole. when i idle it with the high speeds running GREAT, it will idle ON LEVEL GROUND forever, but as soon as i tilt it up, it runs rough and shuts off. to correct this, i have to screw the air bleed in about 1 full turn so that there is not as much air on the idles. BUT for some reason on this engine the air bleed screw also effects the high ends, becasue with the air bleed screw turned in, on the top ends, it is very rich, not enough air, so i have to lean out the high speeds, which then means on the low ends not enough fuel and too much air.
If i back the air bleed screw out a little bit so that is only covering about 1/4 th of the hole, i can get to idle good and the high speeds are really good, but in this state of tune, it will ONLY idle on level ground. when i tilt it up, it speeds up about 300 rpms and dies. this would normally indicate not enought fuel, so i close the air bleed screw some and start the whole process over.
there is no middle ground that i can find. correction on the fuel it is the pink 15% omega
