It's running too lean. Need to richen it up a bit.

If you don't have this read it and print it out for reference.

here's some video for you to watch, put the high needle out 2 1/2 turns from closed and the low end flush with the collar then watch these:

High speed should be 2 1/2 turns out from seat and low speed should be flush with the collar, that would make a good starting point for you to start tuning.

Maybe i am missing something.

What is wrong with you that you just have to start trouble every where you go? You've been preaty much doing the same thing to every thing I post, but I'm just letting go and not saying anything. I didn't post that on purpose, I just didn't notice what you wrote. Stop trying to start fights all the time.

You need a temp gauge to see what temps you are running. This way you know if you need to richen it up or if you have it rich and still running hot you may have an air leak.

Oh and cant we all just get along? Dont let this forum turn out like all the other ones here that people have to argue over stupid stuff. Thats why I like comming here. Alot of great guys here.
