Is shaw does 😁
Well been doing some experiments today on the idle jets
And here’s my results
.55 F8 idles give a very rich idle ( mixture screws only have to be open 1/4 turn) but are good at the top end
.45 F8 idles good idle but mixture screws have to be open 2 1/2 turns but they run lean at 2300 rpm
.50 F8 spot on idle mixture screws are 1 1/4 turns open but they start to run a little lean at 2400rpm

My question is do I stay with the .50 idles and change the F number?
