You should be able to go from high idle to WOT with only minor adjustments of the mixture control even prior to table tuning. If this is not the case and you notice major tuning problems, send me a note prior to starting mode 1 or 9 tuning.

I was not specifically tuning, and hav= e not started that seriously. My question was a general one about why surgi= ng happens in something like my GEO. I'm hoping to tie the trike down o= n Sunday and really start tuning (if the weather holds out).

Thanks,
