High speed mixture needle adjustments are not required.
1) Accelerate engine to Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
2) Check the acceleration state of the engine speed, and make sure
that the engine speed is 9000 rpm or more.

4) After checking WOT RPM,
stop
the engine. To comply with the
Emission regulations, insert new limiter caps in the Low and High
speed mixture needle holes. Press new limiter caps deep into Low
speed and High speed mixture needle holes to prevent tampering.
5) Re-Start engine and verify engine Idle speed
6) Verify
