Default RE: Tuning needles

Well yeah, that's like a four stroke engine with a hot cam; a unique sound, not a miss. A two stroke at idle has a unique sound too, and I can spot one a "mile away" that's rich or lean just by the sound. But I have found that recognizing the various sounds of an engine is a hard thing to teach to people, much less explain the sound in a forum.

Anyway, a two stroke that is slow to come down to idle and has kind of a buzzing sound instead of a mellow "pop, pop, pop, poppity pop" sound at idle is usually too lean.
