Rough engine operation is felt and the
engine will not pick up speed smoothly. In
this case, step up the jet needle clip by one
groove and move down the needle to lean
out the mixture.
2. Too lean at intermediate speeds
The engine breathes hard and will not pick
up speed quickly.
Step down the jet needle clip by one
groove and move up the needle to enrich
the mixture.
