I really though with the 160 twin and really sticking everything right against the firewall would do the trick: so I figuer I will need about a pound ''0'' lead up front, actually doing that as we speak.

You could also grab some heavy spacers for your engine instead of using those "light weight"
plastic ones... Even using Aluminum would make a difference...
you could also move the engine out further than what the manual states....this always helps if you can do it w/o
any ill effects...

Are you balancing with the aluminum spinner included??
This should make things much better..???

Side note....
Ran my Gemini on gas 20-1 mix and it ran great.....
now if I can pick up the updated carb, I will not have any leanning out when nose high
with the model....right now it is wayyyy to much of a difference....
I am aware there is always some, but it would be better all around with the updated carb....
