Lean is definately not good. If your too lean, you could be looking at cylinder damage or seisure.

Are you lean on bottom or top? Bottom would cause poor starting and takeoff while extended lean runs on top end could cause engine problems.

Be careful. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]
