Forgive the n00biness of this post but have forgotten most of my Rocco knowledge!
The red shed seems to be ponging a fair bit after use, smells quite fuely...
It seems to like idling high at above 1k
Will a slight adjustment of the idle screw help? Can someone point me in the right direction for which screw as well as I've forgotten and google isn't providing the goods(!)

Re: DX running rich?
The mixture does not usally go out on a K-jet engine, I would be looking into other things before messing with the mixture as you really need to use a CO2 meter to set it.
Air filter, spark plugs, HT leads, Dissy cap and rotor arm would be the 1st thing's I would be looking at.

Re: DX running rich?
Am planning to give it a good service after my wedding at the end of this month, hadn't considered cap/leads tbh, will throw them on as well, I think with everything I've got going on at the moment, am overlooking the obvious
