    Tempted to say main tbh but hes revving it in a funny way and its on the stand so its slightly hard to pinpoint from the vid alone.

    You can see up to a point (looks to be about half throttle) its picking up sort of cleanly though so it cant be too far off on the bottom end (probs get away with a bit of mixture adjustment). If the pilot was blocked it would be dying with a tiny bit of throttle which its not. If it was a wrong pilot (which rarely is a problem) it would be bogging down low aswell.

    To diagnose bad running (especially when making a vid) you'd want to hold it at different positions for a moment atleast to get a real idea. It doesn't look like he even fully opens the throttle ever :confused:

    I dont know how much if any of this applies to a 4 stroke though:p
