Default Adjust for reduced Nitro

If you have been using 20% nitro and drop down to 15% nitro, will the carb need to be adjusted leaner for the reduced nitro?
Thanks.

The short answer is yes....the less nitro you use the more economical the engine is so the needle has to be wound in a little. Just tune the engine the way you normally do...peak it then richen a little. The idle may need a small adjustment too.
