I am totally frustrated with this plane. I can't believe I had 30 good flights and now this thing just wont run right. I know it is probably due to my ignorance on how to set up a gasser which is frustrating me even more. So I got a new plug and richened the mixture just a little and now the idle seems too high or barely running. Since I got the piece out of the carb it is running sloppy rich also. Here's how I tried to set the idle. 1) I started the engine and warmed it up. 2) I leaned out the LS needle until a smooth idle. 3) Advanced the throttle quickly to 2500-3500 and this is were the thing just does not seem right. It was hesitating and the manual said this was a lean condition and to richen the mixture 1/16 of a turn until there was a smooth idle and good transition to midrange. I either get a higher then normal idle or an idle that barley keeps the plane running. It seems like if I reduce the throttle trim by 1 click the idle drops too low. I removed the new plug and it is black so I think it is rich but if I lean it there is a hesitation when I advance the throttle to full. Any ideas on how you guys set your mixtures would be greatly appreciated.
