Default RE: Engine trouble shooting?

well, right after my flights i can , with both hands, wrap them aroung the head ro regain the warmth and feeling after my flights, But I pretty much got this all figured out,
I found out my problem was being too rich, but Im thinking my oil mix is rich too, I just added some oil(more than enough) to some 40:1 to break in on, but the rest of my larger cache of fuel is pre mixed so I didnt want to go and fill up another jug to mix it 25:1;


Anyeay my real problem is that I was so Used to glow and those saito needles that can go 2 turn eithr direction and not sound like they run any different, this spe I found the secret tuning method and thats by the 64th of a turn,. VERY picky needle settings. but so far a twist with 2 1800lipos a reg and recier on board hovers at half or less throttle,
I cant wait to get this thing on 40:1, I assume the amount of oil added to my 40:1 to break in was making it aroun 15-20:1 then 25: 1. I get lts of blak oil spots flinging out up out of my exhaust stach and back......YES I mounted my exhaust UP like a smoke stack.....Looks cool.
