What have you guys done to stabalize the XL

Whats up Guy!?!

Sounds like you are having fun with the smoker. Best to set the carb factory and get it to start and idle. Then run it a bit to get it up to temp, and if it refuses to rev you will need to lean it out. Always adjust the hsn first, as it dictates total fuel flow. Then you can play with the lsn if it is bogging off the line. Generally the stock settings will make it run, you may need to tweak the idle screw to get it to idle... Sealing the engine is a good idea, I have never done it, but never had a leaky engine either.
