    Let me add more context.. Maybe better understanding whats happening. The carb has been completely cleaned, the motor runs great, but I have the needle turned in “Lean” almost all the way, for any speed, maybe backed out just a hair at higher speeds. I’m afraid I am running it to lean and might damage something. I have to go with oversized pistons, and I am wondering if I should start by just adding a little more oil to the mixture, not stay with the 50:1 and go from there. Hope this clarifies a little.

     

    Thanks!!
