Idle Stop Screw:
The idle stop screw is preset from the factory and should not require
adjustment. The idle stop screw adjusts the closure of the throttle
barrel. We recommend that the idle stop screw be adjusted so that
the carburetor barrel stays open about 1/16". Turning the screw
clockwise will cause the barrel to stay open more. Turning the screw
counterclockwise will allow the barrel to close more.
High Speed Needle Valve:
The high speed needle valve is preset from the factory for the initial starting procedure. Do not make adjustments to it at this time. The
high speed needle valve is used to meter the air/fuel mixture at full throttle. Turn the needle valve clockwise to lean the mixture or turn
the needle valve counterclockwise to richen the mixture. When you start the engine for the very first time, the needle valve should be
turned in completely, then backed out 3 turns. When you start the engine after that, leave the needle valve in the same position it was
in when you shut down the engine.
