Default RE: Engine tuning question

Next time when running at the maximum throttle opening possible, pinch the line to see if it picks up speed or stalls. If it picks up speed it is running rich, if it stalls it is running lean. How much smoke is more of an issue with the glow plug heat range and the percentage and type of oil. With a hot glow plug it may actually smoke more with a lean setting.
