Need direction again on my Sportwerks

Ok, I broke the engine in with the help of the LHS here. The next weekend I took it down to the track an ran the daylights out of it, and it ran pretty good. The following day I went down to a different track, and the weather changed dramatically that day. Went from hot and somewhat muggy to fairly cool (were talking Florida cool ~60 degrees) and very very moist in the air. A guy at the track was helping me get it tuned back up again and then I had some other issues. Called it a day there, now its somewhat the same outside, cool and sort of wet and I feel like Im getting close, but I cant keep it running.

I started with the idle cause it wouldnt start without giving it a little throttle. Once I get it going I can barely keep it idle without stalling out. The HSN should be fairly rich right now, and the LSN is a tad over the factory setting. If I open the idle any more when I start it the engine rev's up very high and I have to shut it down.

Any pointers?

Ambient temp and barometric pressure in alway different each day. Everyday is a new day. turn you HSN CCW 1/2 turn an redo the carb adjustment. When it warms up you'll be ready. Just a routine to follow will make it easy.

Believe it or not, making the LSN a little richer solved my problem. Once I got it going I was able to determine where the HSN needed to be at. Apparently I was too lean on the low side so it wouldnt keep going.

Ran it out at the track all day on Saturday and ran great, until I started loosing drive pins
