Tuning.

[Dieselaw]

Well i have gotten my new chimera running. I am doing the break in process now. I have done some reading and feel that my idle speed is set up well and i need to start looking into tuning the high speed needle. I currently run it and have consistent blue smoke from the exhaust and the engine doesn't seem to really open up, according to my untrained ears. Haha. I know i need to get it warmed up, and then lean out the needle in SMALL increments at a time. Ji was just hoping to get some tips or advice before i start the process. Then onto the low end needle and suspension tuning. Thx in advance for any and all advice!!!

U tune the low end needle first then do the high end

Assuming it starts and runs fine, im assuming the low end needle is close. But i need to address the high speed needle. It is starting to sound a little "bubbly" with more break in. Actually , im guessing, bogged down after running for 5-10 minutes. Once i get it closer i will b bugging u guys about the low end needle again.

put it on a stand and put the choke on slightly. If the car runs better, its too lean, if it runs worse and or stalls, its too rich

Thats great advice. I will be trying that out for sure. And just for anyone googling in the future.... I was running the car today ,and it has been running rich, and it eventually bogged down. So i brought it back in, leaned out the high end, and then it wouldn't idle. So i went through all the trouble shooting. Dead ends. I changed out the spark plug and it fired up and ran like a dream. So i guess the times of running rich fouled it up. Just glad my hunch fixed it. Got a good run in at the park!
