Nah I am blowing smoke and un-used fuel at all rpms . . . from Idle to high speed . . . I have only gave the low speed a 1/16 turn. I have an air leak somewhere . . . but I'm afraid I don't have the expertise to rebuild an engine yet.
On blocks should my drive train be spinning at all . . . that is another thing I can't correct no matter how much I minor(ly) tweak idle, break and servo . . .

So far my XL 5.9 is ok . . . seems to need a tune every run. I have 7 tanks through it . . . getting better every run . . . but the general set up on the XL seems lacking?
I am constantly having to adjust the idle and throttle servo . . . have random shut downs . . . always running rich, then bam engine temp jumps to 300+ . . . while smoke and muff discharge are everywhere
My low speed needle seems really tight . . . hard to do an 1/8 turn, only done 2 1/8 turns . . . but feel as though it's going to break.
If anyone can give me a history of their tuning experience with the 5.9 please help.
I am headed in the right direction and things slowly get better . . . but the idle and throttle servo are really getting to me. Every time I run I am having to mess with idle, breaking, revs and spinning wheels . . . and then random idle shut downs . . .
I am loving the tweaking, but . . . will this thing ever run smooth ?
You are getting random shut downs and high temps because your LSN is to lean. You have smoke at WOT because you HSN might be OK. The LSN is a much finer very slight adjustment
