I will start by say I am not a mechanic but I pretend to be on occasion. I bought a motor that has not been run in several years and the best I could get it to do was idle. As soon as you touch the gas it would shut off.
Took of the carb and removed all parts I could find and cleaned out with spray carb cleaner. After I got it all put back together my buddy asked if I counted the number of screw turns on the 2 main jets, and did I make sure to put them back that many turns? I said nope didn't know anything about it. Don't you love friends that tell you the key info after the job is over?
So, my question is do I have a problem if I screwed them in all the way? And how do I get my jets set right like it was from the factory?
Any help is appreciated!
