Im pretty much a noobie (dont hate me for it), and just curious on how
can I tell if im getting the right mixture (rich/lean). I've adjusted
(as the engine manual says) during the ""break-in"" process, and
wondering if your suppose to see the exhaust (blue smoke) when accerating?

Sry for the noobie question.. Jason

You always want to see some amount of blue smoke from the
exhaust................it's a good thing! If you have the HSN set correctly
you'll get a nice smoke trail from take-off all the way up to max speed at
full throttle.

Agreed - No smoke at full beans and it's too lean. However if its billowing
smoke and spitting fuel out it's probably too rich!
