You have to go into the com port adjustment under settings, amin and adjust it there...you have to keep doing it till you get a good speed...lower is normally better.

We thought it might be the batt or the altinator, the batt was not charging, put in new(used batt lying around), it was charging and seemed better, would idle okish and sometimes die, so i have no clue whats up, could it be the altinator? how would i test
