Default RE: Just how much does and engine lean out?

The size of your tank and the engines abillity to draw fuel will determine how much the mixture will change throughout the flight. Peak out the needle pointing straight up with an empty tank, this is as lean as it should ever be. When the tank is full and the plane lever it will be a lot richer. If the difference is too much then use a smaller tank or smaller prop or smaller carb.
