Default RE: engine tuning problems and more

Use the pinch test.

At full throttle:
Briefly pinch the carb supply line close to the carb. If the engine
1. Dies immediately - it's too lean
2. Runs for a while, does not pick up speed, then dies - it's too rich
3. Picks up speed briefly then starts to die - it's right
