Tuning an engine is easy. You just have to remember about how it sounds when it is tuned right and how it sounds when it is not. Also, if not tuned properly, it may just quit on you causing you to land dead stick.. a sure sign you didn't tune it right..
There are several methods, and I'm sure as many people with differing opinions on how to do it. No matter how you do it, just getting used to doing it is a big first step (or in your case, a re-learning experience).
So, I won't offer a how to, just to tell you that it's easy to do and once learned, you won't forget how. We generally check the engine tune at the beginning of each flying day, then once set, if set right, you can usually forget about it and enjoy the flying.
