Default RE: DL-50 engine

Got the new DL50 started tonight. Easy to start 5-10 flips of the prop. Ran too fast. No matter how low I took the throttle she stayed at half power. Adjusted the low end needle twice then gave up and put her back on the bench. Much head scratching. Checked the servos and could not get the throttle to close more. Tried againstill running way too fast. More bench time and eurika I found the newbie mistake. I had not removed the low end idle adjust so that the throttle was being held open. Removed the adjust screw and the throttle closed another 10% What other mistakes can I make tomorrow?
