the links dont work on this comp. it just freezes.

man, the truck has tons of power, i was pusing it into the ground, just to keep it from taking off, and it almost went out of my hands!

its not too bad in the upper rpm, just bogs of idle, and takes a sec to come back to idle, and after reving it, idles a bit to high.

ill try it again tomarrow afternoon when its quite so cold out, and go from there. what do you sugest doing?

i would suggest learning about motors and the adjustments that can be made each adjustment screw does its own thing no matter what kind of motor you have.......................and when you understand what each adjustment does to a motor then you will be able to fine tune it........ it really doesnt matter what a book says as they have no idea where you plan on running it or what kind of climate you plan on running it in just make sure there is always plenty of smoke so you will atleast not do any damage to the motor

ya thats the first thing i looked for, what each needle did what on this motor but i cant find anything. i personally think its too rich, because there seems to be an excess of smoke, but it could be jus the time i tested it, about 6.30 tonight.

thanks doug but i got the link to work on a different comp, i think i got it pretty close to the right tuning, at least for today, man i thaught my other truck had power, that one doesnt even compare to this one holly sh. but i need to buy some thread lock for the motor mounts, and tighten the slipper clutch, what temp are you suppose to run them at to the most life out of them, mine's around 210 after about a tank.

whats a quieter muffler i can get to quiet this thing down for around my house, its a bit on the LOUD side.
