[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 338558, member: 9169"] Because it's barely out of the break in period. Calls for 25:1 during break in. We've leaned it out to 36:1 and the plugs at WOT look spectacular, which is why we are keeping it at 36:1. The motor is, however, running rich at idle, but we adjusted that this past Saturday when it was out. My manual also suggests 93 octane. So there is where the 36:1 and 93 octane combo. comes from. It started up and ran fine this past Saturday when it was in the 20's. Might just be one of those things with this motor when the temp gets down close to zero. When that happens I'll give regular octance gas a try. Thanks for all the help!! [/QUOTE]
