Default Help with Picco .28

I have a Picco .28 that is somewhat broken in, at least to tuning stages. (I know these motors arent truely broken in unitll around 2 gallons) I brought it out today for the first time in a long time, and while chasing a tune I ended up screwing it up royally. Tried to start at stock settings and go from there. Even worse. So now I don't know where things should be. I almost feel I should have left the tune I had on it alone, it took a long while to get it that nice in the first place. Any opinions on needle settings most of you are running. Some info: 3/4 gallon, at sea level, McCoy MC-8, Trinity Monster Horsepower 20%, STS header, Ofna 086, sealed all except carb end bell. This thing has always been a nightmare now that I think back... Mabye it's time for that LRP .30?![sm=confused.gif]

I think if you use a proper plug you might be a little better off. I have found that the 51007 has worked extrememly well in my .28 and the 51006 when I went to the turbo head.

My only issues have been the bad carb and I cannot seem to chase that down at all. I am going to send mine away and get it fixed (again).

That plug isn't readily available to me. I'd have to order it. But it was definatly something at the top of my head. I will have to get a few with my next order. It seems that the formula is that plug, Byrons Gen2 30%, and an 086. Thanks for the reply. Anyone else with ideas? Different carb possibly? (Would F4.6, or Mach .26 fit?)
