wallfish 15,925 #9 Posted June 19, 2018 7 hours ago, upstate yank said: but that carb adjustments are on the wrong side of figure 2.2 The position of the adjustments are exactly the same, just on the opposite side of the carb. The adjustment closest to the engine is the low idle, the one on the top is for the idle speed, the one down near the bowl is high speed. From the table: Preliminary settings Low Idle 2-1/2 turns Main Fuel 3/4 turn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
