Hey guys, don't really know where else to ask this question, but my hzr runs great. However, my needle settings are something like 4 out on the high and 3 on the mid.
My question is, how does this happen? I can adjust my carb by half a turn of either needle, and little difference. Most of the difference is noticed while it's spooling up, once it reaches operating range, it does great.
The reason I'm asking the question is that I am using locally sourced fuel. It's called S&W fuels. The guy lives 15mins from my house and a gallon is $20. He use to only use 17% oil and I asked him to put 21% in mine, then I add a little Klotz to get to 23%. I like the smell of klotz. Right now I can't get my hands on some RR or Cool power to test out if it's the fuel, but this could be a reason for my needle settings a bit. But not double rich from manual could it?
Manual settins are 2h 1m from shut.
I'm using a #8
Never messed with the shims
Cleaned my regulator two gallons ago. when I rebuilt the motor. But it was acting like this before as well
Pipe is a hyperage 56
Fuel is 30%
Any thoughts? I'm sucking down the tank in 6 minutes which seems like what the rest of you are doing that have simlar flying styles at 2150rpm Vbar gov.
