Default Sluggish on top end

i should probly add that it is about 35* F here right now.
when i give my gt2 full throttle, sometimes it will kindof sputter on full throttle, and sometimes it will work like it is supposed to.
is the HSN to lean or to rich???
there is a nice trail of smoke i might add.

idk, i only ran it for about 5 mins, so maybe it wasnt warmed up all the way. im going to my grandparents field tomorow and will update when i get back.

it sounds as if your engine is runing rich! try and turn the high speed needle 1/8th of a turn at a time to see if it helps!

hope this helps

if it starts running better when it gets warmed up its probably too rich. if it gets worse when up to temp, too lean.

wrap the head with some aluminum foil, you have to keep the temps up, but it needs to run rich to compensate for the denser air
