Default RE: DL-50 engine

Hey guys, finally after almost a year, i got my cap 232 27% with the dle-55 in the air. First time i started my dle-55, it took 3 spins with the choke on, it sputtered, i turned the choke off and 3 turns later she was running. i ran it on the ground for a tank with 32:1 lawnboy ashless and will for 2-3 gallons. i love this engine, even not fully broken in, it has all kinds of power, in fact after three flights, i have yet to do anthing other than 1/2 throttle, except a few quick hits upto full. my questions is, when should i fine tune? this engine runs great with the facotry settings with very little effort to start. how do i know if it needs tuned? i have a very smooth transition from low to high throttle and my idle is very nice.
