Stop screw is removed.... I initially ran the motor exactly per the instructions @ 32:1 word for word. The idle and all was good at that setting. After the initial run in, I slowly started leaning the low end until it would die on trans. and then richened back up a little. I then leaned top end 1/16 (from stock) and lost rpm so richened the high speed from factory 1.75 to 2 and it picked up RPM making me think that the stock HS was a touch lean. I guess that I am just paranoid about running too lean and causing damage.

Not sure what to do here...leave @ stock needle setting???

Thanks.

Pulled plug last night and it was brown in color with some wetness on the threads
