Default Break in needle settings.. engine acting funny

Well heck I'm on my.. like 4th or 5th tank now with my Rossi?

Now I God know where my LSN/mid and HSN are I gotta reset them..

But I'm trying to lean it, but it still stays stone cold.. around 125 lol

I turned the hsn in 1/2 and the LSN in 1/4.. still nothing

Oh.. the problem.. I only have the throttle set at a max at 35%.. but when I close to "floor" it.. the RPMS go down as if the engine is bogged down by too much fuel... of course its smoking a lot..

I'm almost sure its running way too rich.. the temp readings I got right after a run were as low as 89 degrees! lol

I'm gonna reset my needles again tomorrow.. any other suggestions?

Default air to motor

the motor needs air and gas too.turn in the air jet all the way easy tell it stops.then turn it out 2 or more turns,start the motor and run it ,have a friend or some one help you do this.they need to give it gas and you need to turn in the air jet slow and easy.it must be about 1 3/4 to 2 turns.no less then 11/2 the motor will run faster then but you need to see and feel oil in the air from the back of motor.then run the ----- out of it and have fun!!later
and when you are done shut off gas or run it out and put oil in the carb to keep it good and will not rust ok
