Adjusting the Carb

I adjusted the carb today. There are probably better online instructions, but I stopped by my main man Brent’s garage for a lesson.

Step 1.

I adjusted the throttle screw, this was adjusted to be just barely touching the little toothed cam. This was done with the engine off.

Step 2.

We adjusted the fuel air mixture, the little one at the bottom. This screw should be turned out/counter clockwise until it no longer makes an improvement, then back it off a tiny bit. This is done with the engine on.

Step 3.

This step was skipped, this screw, the big one in the middle adjusts the idle speed.

Step 4.

Drive home, have fun.
