RE: HIT THE WATER TODAY WITH RIO
Sounds like shes running way to rich set the low to 1 3/4 out no need to stop the motor to tweak the needles idling for a few seconds wont hurt just dont do it for too long or things get hot very quick [X(].Also if you used Grims needle settings are you sure your getting enough movement on your throttle setup to open the throttle?,he should know where the needles should be so maybe try what he suggests and check for other things to make sure there isnt another reason for her not revving out?.My money is on the low needle been too far out though close it half a turn and see .
