crank in 8 turns, and add 13 grams counterweight on each lever (all total 39). My brother has been running his like that for years, no issues. Go back to the strip, just pull it back to 3 turns or so, leave counterweight as is, launch at 4500 first pass and go up from there if needed...

xr 7, do you recall what nut and bolt combination got you at 13 grams.  just looking for a ball park, I can fine tune the weight.
