Re: carborator ajustment
I'll take a stab at this because nobody has yet.<br /><br />I never have adjusted the carbs on one of those but some things are generic to them.<br />Turn the mixture screw in just until it makes contact with the seat (do not tighten or even snug this screw, Just make contact) Now turn it counter clockwise to a good starting point would be 1 to 2.5turns. Once it is running and warmed-up turn the mixture screw clockwise 1/4 turn at a time,and wait 15 seconds..Then 1/4 more and so-on. Do this until it gets rough running .<br />This is the lean cut-out point of the mixture.<br /><br />Now, turn the screw out (counter clockwise),1/4 turn at a time,15 second wait, past the point where it is running smooth, to a a point where it again is cutting-out.It will be smokey too.<br />This is the lean cut-out point of the mixture.<br /><br />Now you know the operating range. Now comes the important part.<br />If you adjust too lean, the engine will not get enough lubrication, and self-destruct.<br />If you adjust too rich, plug and carbon fouling will occur more often than normal.<br />It is allways best to error on the side of "rich".<br />So with the engine running lean,again, turn the mixture screw counter clockwise until it again starts to run rough, then clockwise until it just runs smooth. This will be a tad rich....Just right.<br />Good luck.
