CAUTION:
It is much safer to operate the engine slightly rich as opposed to slightly lean.
This is because an overly rich engine will just run poorly while an overly lean
engine will seize, potentially causing an expensive top end rebuild and a DNF.
To richen the carburetor:
1. Change the main jet one number at a time (larger).
2. Lower the needle clip (raising the jet needle) one notch at a time until the
engine starts to blubber on the top end, then move the clip back up one notch
or until you get the blubber out.
FUEL MIXTURE SCREW
The left side brass screw is a fuel mixture (air) screw. This screw will also richen
and lean your engine more on the bottom and mid-range. In warmer conditions,
turn the screw in. In colder conditions, turn the screw out. Be sure to keep the
carburetor very clean and make sure you don't have water or dirt in the
carburetor bowl. Use automotive carburetor cleaner or WD-40 to clean the
carburetor inside and out. Turning the screw in richens the mixture at partial
throttle openings. Turing the screw out, leans it.
