      ok so when i first got it it was super rich because the guy i got it from just finished breaking in the engine, it was super slow and it would take a heavy trigger press before it would take-off. so then i leaned the high speed one out about 2hours and now it runs good it had good take-off speed not insanely fast. and after looking at my manual it says that if it has good amount of exhaust coming out in idle then it is rich. and after running it a little hard it and letting it idle hardly any exhaust was coming out but when i would speed it up good amount of exhaust/oil was coming out so then i did the spit test and used i think maybe it was too much spit but anyway it too about 5-8seconds before it boiled/evaporated

      so am i running it to lean?

      You need experience in listening to the engine note… 🙂

      If its a little Rich, the engine ‘hesitates’ (gurgles?) on pickup.
      If its a lot too rich, it’ll ‘drown’ and stall.

      You just want to lean it enough so that it doesn’t ‘hesitate’ on
      pickup… but not by too much. The throttle response from idle
      should be crisp, reaching top revs in less than 1s.

      (don’t rev your engine unloaded for long periods)
