Need help with tuning

[Geatfriq]

Nova Rossi p5xl .21s having trouble tuning. I’m a basher so. I would like a tune with some power but also with engine longevity in mind. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ok was following the flow sheet to a t. Car started. Let idle 1 min. Had to apply brake so wheels wouldn’t spin. Adjusted the idle screw 1/8th of a turn clock wise. Now she won’t start worth. A penny. I have a starter box. But all that comes out the pipe is either unburnt fuel or oil. Put paper in pipe cause. The car defeated me. Lol. Again. Ps ........... I need a win lol

You were tuned with a high idle. Once you lower the idle you'll probably need to adjust the LSN as well. It's obvious that it's WAY too rich right now.

Try opening the throttle while starting her, prime her more too
