Default O.S. 61 not idling well

My heli flies well, but it will not idle at all. I have played with the adjustments some but not much help. I am using Red Max 15% fuel. My idle is set about 1 1/2 - 2 turns out and the high speed is almost 3 turns out. Smokes well in flight, hardly any at idle. I am thinking it is too lean but I wanted some other ideas.

I think you are correct. It sounds too lean on the low end.

Might change the plug too. You could have burned it a bit if you ran it lean.

I talked to the people at Heli proz and they got me going in the right direction. I had all the idle adjusments wrong. I had a problem with the rotors not stopping with out killing the engine. They said I had probably strung my clutch so I gotta get a new clutch and liner.
