Hey guys just picked up a 8.0 and am having difficultys. I've had nitro in the past but not all the issues. I've messed with all carb settings and need to start over. It seems that the low speed needle can turn in to many turns. I screwed it in about 7 turns and it would go more but i stopped fearing damage.if I bring it back out it would not be out far enough to where I think it was from factory. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
 
If this is a new truck/engine, I'd suggest air sealing it to be sure, then start over
 
You have to bottom the needle to set it. It is set by a number of turns open from fully closed. If it wont close I would say you have a bad carb.
 
Make sure to hold the throttle closed with your finger to bottom out the LSN, if not as you screw it in the throttle will slowly open up and you will never set it.
