37.5 pilot, 127.5 main. So I put the smaller main back in way back whenever.
Looking at the needle, it has a spacer equivalent to one clip, and then it is the second from top (as in, leanest).
I tried putting it together with the spacer the other side, effectively leaning it further and the taper of the needle suggests it stays lean for a long time then the taper of the needle kicks in above half throttle and enrichens it like a step.
So maybe I raise the needle not drop it, see if it fuels more sooner… hmm.
Maybe after all it’s the needle taper that’s the issue.
