very basic tuning questions....

[pugs2300]

I'm sure this is gonna sound stupid but i just want to make sure....I'm not sure what i did with my manual or i would check it myself....
which direction do i turn the carb needle to lean/rich the mix....
i think its clockwise to rich and counterclockwise to lean...thats what I've been doin anyhow...lol
also which way do i turn the idle screw to raise/lower the idle...
i think that is clockwise to raise and counterclockwise to lower....
simple question but not if you don't know i guess....thanks for the help guys...

to richen it is counter clockwise
to lean is clockwise
the idle screw works as follows: turn it clockwise it raises the idle,turn it counter clockwise to lower the idol.

well iguess that would explain why i can't get it to run right...lol...
anyone know how to get the needles and idle screw back to factory settings....


nevermind i found them

 

[blckrevo33]

factory settings are 4 turns out on hsn
flush with slide collar on lsn
idle should be set to about 1mm gap between the wall and slide
when you tighten the hsn just turn it in until it is barely snug. do not tighten hard or you could strip the needle threads. good luck i hope this gets you up and running.
