I have a stupid question....

[turn out to enrichen the mixture]

or are they reversed because you are adjusting the needle height from the bottom

Regular thread all the way. I'm not sure if I've seen a left hand nut or screw in a while anywhere.

Awesome! Now I can get rid of my little stumble when I wring the throttle out!

Just a Quarter turn will be good!

Thanks stitch!

Where are you starting at with the initial setting? It should be 2 1/2 turns out. Then back it out a little more to enrich it.

That's where it is. I'm gonna tweak it a little bit though Thanks!

The info I have in my manual is 2 turns out..



How do you tweak it to get it spot on?

It depends on what carbs you have. If you have the early 78 type you can just back out the mixture screws a 1/4 turn at a time until it runs better at idle and the flat spots are gone. (IF THE LOW JETS AND CHAMBERS ARE CLEAN AND UNRESTRICTED.) If you have the later style with the tabs on the mixture screws you'll need to pull the bowls off, take out the mixture screws, and file down the tab on the needle cap so you can adjust it when you have the bowls on.
