This was my first nitro and had a ***** of a time getting it started and getting it to idle....what I found in my case is that the factory settings are WAAAAAAAY too rich, i couldnt even get it to run and had fuel backing up out of my glow plug hole!!! I bottomed out the hsn then turned it out 1.5 turns and left my lsn 1 turn out from flush, and it fired right up and hasnt failed me since and goes like a raped snake, with a nice trail of blue smoke, and with a successful pinch test.....the alternative is to leave your hsn at 2-2.5 out and turn your lsn in from flush like muck said, though this is VERY difficult unless you have switched the exhaust around with the stinger on the left....everybodies settings will be different, but the one thing that i think stays the same is that the factory settings are too rich....hope this helps
i have to correct you on leaving the hsn at 2 turns and leaning the lsn. Too lean of a lsn will cause issues also.
I would like to know where every one else's lsn is set with the pinch test and their weather outside. If every one is close to factory on the lsn like yours then i wonder if i need to chase an air leak in mine.
