    I believe I sent it to you at or about 1.25 turns out each.

    You may want to leave it rich for a bit until the rings have time to do their thing. Can someone else chime in, too.

    If you have a tach handy then tune it down to under 13.5k and run it that way for a few tanks.

    Thanks for posting this, crzybowhntr,
    I don't have a tach mdavlee, will have to buy one! Guess in the mean time I'll drop by the local small shop and see what they can do for me....

    Mike hit it above ^^^.

    YouTube has numerous videos that can help train an ear to what to listen for.

    Ultimately, a good tach is best. But not needed.
