Well UPDATE!!

I started the engine today, found out one thing, THE MIXTURE is set to wereever the factory is, and i'm at 1600 ft asl, the engine would idel but as i advance the throttle the engine would die, i had to remove the mixture limiter as i need to lean the engine way down. Ran a tank throught the engine going from rich to lean, after the tank was done, My Nexstar was dripping with fuel along the right side..

Some of us keep telling people that the engine is just marginally preset so it will run sort-of. But others insist it's not only tuned but also fully broken in, which it isn't. Out of the bos it has just a couple of minutes of running time on the engine at most. Do a NORMAL break-in on the engine for best results.
Enjoy your plane and happy flying.
