    Thank you this is awesome i have learned more about this motor in two days that i could have figured out on my own in three years. Again thank you guys for all the info.

    Yesterday i fired the beast up and she ran fairly well. At start up it idles fine once the low speed needle is adjust and accelerates well also. Once i am at full throttle it is a little rough so i begin to adjust the high speed needle. I start at one full turn out from the seated position and go from there. Leaning it out does not help so i begin to turn it out to make it richer. The motor begins to smooth out and then seems to over rev and stall. Right about the point when it become smooth the RPM’s rise quickly to the point where it is really screaming then shuts down. Any ideas what might be going on here?
    Thank you Nick.
