yea i seen yours started up really nice and smooth, unfortunately mine does not start and run that smooth. i just need to know the amount of turns to turn the main jet and needle valve.

Start with the high speed adjustment at 1-1/2 turns from closed and the idle speed at 1-3/8 turn from closed.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
