Took the 31" barnstormers hull out today. Had some trouble it would not go full throttle. Found that the pressure line split fix that. Sarted better but no
top end.It hesatated like it was lean I was at same settings as last week
4 1/2 turns out. went to 5 1/2 turns the same. Should I go more in hot weather? Is there a rule of thumb for settings? The engine is k&b .45 inboard
even with the engine not running good had to put the tabs down a bit water
was a little rough :mad:

MY gasser should be here sat :D Cant wait

Does any one know if it is lean for hot weather and rich for cool weather. I dont remember for sure.

That shoud be the right way to adjust it - hot air is thinner, so to get the same mix, you need less fuel
