I probably did make too much of a needle setting change, that is true.

I was getting a bit frustrated trying to find a setting to get a full tank run without stopping.
I've been waiting to get a first flight under my belt, and didn't want to have an engine that won't run a tank w/o craping out on me.


Anyway, I have a few questions:

1.) I believe I actually went from a leaner setting to a richer settingg (and not vice versa) as I went "counter"clockwise from a 9:00 position to a 6:00 position (the 3:00 position being the needle closed shut).

The engine isn't running blubbery yet, so I believe it may be rich - but not too rich.

2.) Any chance that I have been breaking it wrong or done some damage by NOT running it lean enough (hot enough)?
I've only got between 3 and 4 tanks of 5% at this point.
And I always tend to worry about running too hot.
