4. Turn the slow speed mixture screw slowly in until the engine starts to
misfire or stall due to a lean mixture. Note the position of the screw slot.
5. Turn the slow speed mixture screw slowly out until the engine starts to
load up or fire unevenly due to a rich mixture. Note the position of the
screw slot.
6. Set the slow speed mixture screw midway between the rich and lean
setting. When in doubt, set the mixture slightly rich rather than too lean.
