I wouldn't worry much about APT or lean tip-in testing at the moment. Nail down the timing and fuel settings to get the engine happy at idle speed where you have no nozzle drip, and good sensitivity from the idle mixture screws.

APT adjustments are best made by driving the vehicle and making very small changes to nail down the best power, efficiency and fuel economy in the "normal" driving range......
Much Appreciated! I will be back with Results
