Nice Neil!

I really dig good teaching

[@crewchiefification]

Nice, thanks Neal

[@AShebins]

When on a carburetor tuning video, one says "The H needle- you don't want to mess with" is the moment I close the video. You tune H first, then L, then Idle. Braaap. Safe flights. L affects H, too lean L will lean out H.

[@chiccraddock9997]

Nice info!

If you have to turn the High screw always go CCW first never CW.Then turn in 5 min increments until the motor slobbers and smokes under full power..then you want to turn it CW in 1 minute increments until the slobber just goes away then 1min further.Thats only if you must other wise have a skilled tech do it :)

@@aviator Have you done tuning steering line / brake length? Setting up tip steering? Setting up / tuning speed bar? Scheduled engine maintenance (what to do, when to do it)? Attaching and adjusting a new harness? Thoughts about harness adjustments? Hang point setting and testing? Reserve placement, style, maintenance? Pre-flighting? Post-flighting?

[@aviator]

@@error.418 We've done the first ones you mentioned, the rest are great! Thank you!

I do not understand how it leans out bending over being a diagram carb. But...... this was my issue and it fixed it!!! I am super grateful, never too late to learn new things 😀

[@BadRadBR]

An extremely helpful video! I am still new to this and I'm wondering, is the 'H'igh screw for adjusting the idle Thanks!

[@BRichards211]

So if you were to re-build your carb, what would you set your high screw too to start?

[@neosugus]

Wich is a good starting point of the idle screw before you start to tune the carb?

[@cattnipp]

Neil!

[@turkeyphant]

How do I tune for fuel efficiency? My carb is using tons of fuel!

[@51169025]

Have an old top80 starts and ticks over perfectly, but runs like a dog and dies when warm. Any tips? Tia

[@warrenkral6562]

I have not touched the high needle. Running 50:1 non ethanol with amsoil Sabre. Motor has 5hrs. Has never really run right. Mid range 4800 to 5500 was always rough. I tuned it by bringing the low needle 1min in at a time. I WAS able to get the motor to idle, transition, cruise, and full power perfectly. The problem is, I am afraid the plug shows it's too lean. After 45 mins flight the plug still looked new. No coffee color at all. If I richen the low screw to the point it browns the plugs porcelain, it runs rough and like crap. How much do you value the color of the plug? Do you think I need to adjust the high needle and possibly ruin my warranty?

Hi. Could you offer me some advice please. My brand new maverick with a moster 185 MY22 engine feels weird. Iv flown it only 1ce. I’m using good fuel with 2% motul 800 mix as it’s still in the running in phase. Iv followed the Manuel and spent the usual 2hrs or so running it in on the ground. When I went to take my very first flight it felt weird. Not like when using the flying schools own moster 185. It felt under powered. My first take off failed cos it felt weird and the send attempt was successful but felt like I almost crashed after take off. I flew fine once in the air But on take off my instructor was saying FULL POWER. I always do full powers. But it felt like it didn’t go to full power. Anyone else had this issue.

[@aviator]

Plenty of issues could be at play, and we would be glad to help. What is the elevation of your local field?
