picco bp-01 problems

[j0olz]

i just got finished breaking in my picco bp-01 on my kanai....it was properly broken in using trinity break in blend. i am however having problems tuning it correctly. can anyone give me the approximate race setting from their picco that i can work off of. i know they can be diffferent, but i'm just looking for something to work off of.

You said you used break in fuel did you change fuels???

after i used the whole quart i changed over to o donnel 30%nitro...is that a bad thing?

Iv seen it done by many people in the past. All you need to do is retune the carb, set it back to the factory break in settings and start tuning again.

Read this article on nitro fuels. It may help you if you changed the percentage of nitro after break-in.

Even if this doesn't help it is a good article to read.

The only person that can give you the needle settings would be some one that lives on your block. I dont live on your block and dont plan to move so its time to learn to tune an engine. Any one that gives you there needle settings will live in another town at a different alt and run in different fuel then you, so there settings wont work for you. So its time to start tuning

When you switch fuels you need to re break in your engine to have it run correctly. Some good starting settings that will get your engine roughly running is to set the high end and low end needles flush. This will get you startyed, but many things affect your needle setting and you will need to fine tune it.
