Sukhoi 3mm question
Need a little tuning advice: When I cold crank my 3mm I can't advance the throttle past mid-stick because it'll bog down as though it's starved of fuel. Should I richen the high speed needle just a little? If I let it warm for about 3 minutes above idle it'll eventually go away and then takes fuel and runs fine. Any advice is appreciated.

A cold engine requires more fuel than a hot one, so if it works really well when cold then it will be richer than necessary when hot.

Tom, I'm thinking you're onto something. Are you a Shaman?

I can cause apparatus to change state just by entering a room.
