Factory settings are just a starting point to get it going.
Now it's time to tune it for running.
If you have too much smoke you're running rich and need to turn the LSN clockwise.
As you lean it the idle will increase so you may need to adjust the idle screw as well.
Use small adjustments 1/16 of a turn at a time.
You should see a little smoke so you know you're getting oil to the motor but not a lot.
25:1 is fine.

I agree with Phil. LSN give it 1/8-1/4 turn clockwise.

I seen that there is a kit that you can buy for some engines but didn't know if there was for the stock engine to make more power out of the stock like this pic
