Looking for Carb settings for new Sirio .30

[supradude26]

Hey, newb here and I did use the search but didn't find much. I just picked up a Sirio .30 and it doesn't fire at all with the factory set carb. I forgot to write down where it was set before I started adjusting things so now I think I'm way off. I have emailed a couple of people from Kyosho and Trinity but have had no luck getting anywhere. Does anyone have one of these or know what a good starting point would be for the settings? The only other engine out of the 30 or so that I've owned that has given me this much trouble firing was my Rossi Black Magic. Thanks in advance for any input.

This was the only thing I found when doing a quick search:
A GOOD STARTING POINT IS 4 TURNS OUT LOW NEEDLE. AND 3 1/2 ON HIGH NEEDLE. 1MM OPEN FOR IDLE. IF YOU ARE STILL BREAKING IN THE ENGINE. YOU ADD A 1/2 TURN TO LOW AND HIGH NEEDLE. BETTER RICH THAN LEAN. I LIVE IN IOWA AND FOUND THAT MY ENGINE BROK IN MUCH EASIER AT 1/4 EXTRA TURN.

NOTE: This info was found on another RC board, so, no claims made to the accuracy of it.

Thanks much for the quick reply!! This info is quite a bit different than other that I've found and tried, but maybe that's why I'm having no luck... Thanks!
