    Mixture with the Allen key down the hole in the air box.took it for a 20 mile blast then pulled a plug out to see my burn colour think this maybe on the edge of rich but its staying that way I think. 20211024_192703.jpg

    This pic is how it was running with the pinking before I increased the fuel mixture and only a slight turn 1/8 to 1/4 max.

    Agreed, on the edge of rich, but safe.
    Maybe you need some fuel additive?
