My Baja 5B engine seems to run great except when it hits the top end it kinda stutters or cuts in and out somewhat, not a smooth sound like you would expect. Low end and mid-range sound good. What would be the cause of this? Is it too rich, or is there something else I need to do to get it running smoothly? It is the stock engine with an X-Can exhaust, running 87 octane with 25:1 Amsoil Dominator oil if that helps at all...

Thanks...

your H needle is a bit too rich... lean it out and it'll sound smoooooth

Thanks. That's what I figured it was. Ran outta gas before I had a chance to fiddle with it, but I'll lean the high end down a bit to smooth it out as soon as I gas her up again Thanks again...

Hmmm.....That sounds like a lean setting to me.

If its stuttering and cutting in and out at the top end its running too lean. Richen up your H needle.

mine did that when my H needle was too rich... untill i lean it a bit it finally topped out clean.

Sounds rich to me. Lean bogs.

Just turn the H screw a 1/16th each way from where it is now and run it. Simple.

When an engine is cutting in and out at high rpm it is starving for fuel.

Haven't had a chance to adjust it yet, but will tommorrow. I'm inclined to think it's too rich, and leaning it a smidge would fix it. Anyway, I'll update tommorrow which way it needed to go, ie rich or lean...

And your telling me I cant say what I want when I want.

A person can turn the screw both ways and you will see the results. Try it, you'll see.
