Re: slow speed fixed jet??????? how to get lower speed idle set
Sounds like your carb is still clogged since it ran fine when you put it away. How did you clean the carb? Make sure all gaskets are there and in good shape. Carb cleaner and compressed air threw all jets and passages ( removing the core plugs as well and will have to be replaced as once removed their ruined).
The low speed mixture is controlled by the taper of the needle it doesn`t have a physical jet like the high speed jet of the carb. Once carb is completely clean, turn the low speed mixture in (clockwise) until it lightly seats. Turn it 1 1/2 turns out and start motor. Let motor warm up, this should done on the water and in gear but to make sure it runs ok first try it at home in a barrel of water. Turn mixture knob in 1/8 turn and let motor respond for 10-15 secs, rpms should increase- lower rpms a bit with idle adj. Keep doing this proceedure until motor starts to cough or miss, turn mixture knob out about 1/4 turn +/- this should smooth out motor.
