Re: Cant stop running lean

You may want to increase your accelerator pump setting, and chance your step up springs. If you are having trouble, put some stiffer springs in there (one stage at a time) and move your acc pump (power valve) linkage so it's at the bottom hole. Using a wide band o2 sensor will also help, knowing under what road conditions you are running too lean makes tuning way easier.
