Default picco idle

ok my picco.26 max dose have air leeks if you blow really hard through the fuel line to do an air leek test but I have a race in 2 days so not enough time to repair them loll any way when I start my truck the idle is too low so I give it slight throttle for about 2 mins till it is warmed up then the idle is perfect until the engine gets up to about 220f then the idle goes really low but it wont stall but sounds like it wants to the heist temp I have seen since this tune is about 220f highest I want to lean it out a bit more but if I go straight from idle to wot it accelerates for about 3 seconds then bogs to say as if its lean but if I go from idle and increase to wot in about 3 seconds it will run perfect I don’t know what to do my lsn seems to be fine if I pinch the fuel line it runs for about 4 seconds and revs up very slightly then dies what do I need to do to sort out the low idle please hellp me please

Where is your airleak? Backplate or carb leaks are easy to fix. A little copper RTV around the carb base or backplate will do the trick. As for the front bearing- most of the time the leak is between the bearing and the crank, which requires tearing down the engine to fix. There's not really any point in tuning a mill that leaks. 2 days is enough time- only takes an hour or so to fix the leaks, do it now so the RTV has time to cure.

If you don't fix that air leak then you'll be chasing a tune all day making racing it more difficult.
