Chris,
Did you state the backwards? I thought you pull the wires on each side
when setting the mixture, and turned the idle screw out 1 1/4 or 1 1/2
turns per the book. I set my carb mixtures once by pulling one side and
listening for 4-5 pulses, and adjusted mixture until I got that, then
went to the other side and did the same. As for idle, I adjusted the
idle on each side incrementally until I got it where it sounded good.
Perhaps I did it backwards? Will have to check my manual again.

Only do one carb at a time. Turn and wait about 30 seconds before turning more. Keep turning until it slows down again. Where you were before it slowed down is where you want to be. Set idle by pulling one plug wire while idling. You want each side to be able to idle about 5 times on its own. Pull, let it die, reconnect, restart, and repeat until you get them both about the same. Hope this helps! Chris in NC On Thu, 19 Sep 2002 12:19:06 +0000 Keith Ruff <klru-@fcc.net> wrote:
