I had some help out there, they told me to fire it up and go fly. That didn't sound right so I bench ran it for almost 2 tanks first. I adjusted the high speed needle until I got a good transition from low rpm to high rpm. Then set the low needle for a smooth idle.</p>
Do you think I really damaged the engine that much? If I run it rich for a few more tanks will it be ok?</p>
The low speed needle is used for low to high rpm transition adjustment, by doing it backwards you made it very lean. If you get it tuned right you will get lots of time out of it, but prolly not as much as you would if you did it right the first time.
