YS won't richen

[Kenneth Blackwell]

I think that at two turns it is already TOO rich...and the reason that it is
kicking the prop. Normal setting for every YS that I have had is about 1-1/4
turn out +/- 1/4 turn. What fuel? It loves nitro. Recommend something like
Coolpower 20/20 Pro Pattern fuel in the winter and maybe 20/30 in the
summer.

Cheers,

Ken B.
