Title: idle screw?
Post by SHaW0069 on 04/26/11 at 19:15:50

is this the idle screw adjustment hole that adjusts the fuel and air mixture?

doing this tomorrow after rejetting the carb..

circle 1- the cap is off and now you can adjust the the air/fuel mixture?

circle 2 - cap hasnt been drilled out? <---this is not the air/fuel mixture is it?

P.S. if the cap is off, and that is the fuel/air mixture.... you guys measure by turns to the right like 2 turns or 1 and a half.....
how do you know exactly if its one and a half?? can you completly close it by turning counter-clockwise?? then you start the turning process??

just a bit confused as when reading in the forums...

makes sense if you close it going counter clockwise so it wont turn than starting 2 turns clockwise .,... or even 3 turns... whichever you know what i mean..

again thank you for your help... i still believe this is the greatest site know to man... other then porn... just-kidding!
;D

thank you!

It's 1 denoted by the slot in the screw head
#2 is a shaft, denoted by the e-ring and that it rotates when the throttle is twisted.

CW is in, will make in leaner.
CCW is out, will make it richer.

careful turning it in, it will lockup tight it you turn it to hard.

turn it in till stops, then start with 1 and a half out.

Fingertips on a skinny screwdriver will be plenty of torque when closing that screw, Its very delicate.

Just so you can communicate more precisely, and therefore get accurate information, the screw (#1) is the air mixture screw. The idle adjustment screw is on the other side of the carb and looks like this:

Two different things, two different purposes.
