* SETUP AND ROUGH TUNING * Adjust float level NEEDLE JET remove main jet set needle to leanest position start engine and let idle open up the throttle slowly IF engine floods as throttle is opened THEN needle jet is fine IF engine continues to run up to 75% and 100% open throttle THEN replace with larger needle jet engine should be rich at this point MAIN JET set needle to middle position adjust main jet until engine runs well at 100% open throttle ignore response and acceleration at this point IDLE JET back out idle speed screw until throttle slide is completely closed turn idle speed screw back in until the slide JUST opens close idle air screw completely back out 1 - 1.5 turns start engine obtain smooth 1200 rpm idle by adjusting idle air screw and idle speed screw IF engine does not idle smoothly THEN idle jets may need replaced IF screwing idle air screws in increases engine rpm THEN idle jets are too small IF screwing idle air screws out increases engine rpm THEN idle jets are too large idle air screw should not be turned out more than 3 turns rich mixture should occur when idle air screw is less than 1 turn out Synchronize carburetors THROTTLE SLIDE up to 25% throttle IF engine coughs/dies as throttle is opened THEN change to richer throttle slide (less cutaway) Resynchronize carburetors Ensure idle jets are still appropriate * FINE TUNING * MAIN JET perform test run at 75% - 100% throttle check plugs change main jet until plugs show proper mixture NEEDLE perform test runs at 25%, 50% & 75% throttle IF engine snatches and surges THEN mixture is rich, lower needle one groove repeat as necessary perform steady acceleration runs between 25% - 50% and 50% - 75% throttle note where mixture is lean/rich IF mixture is lean at 25% - 50% throttle but rich at 50% - 75% throttle THEN needle taper is too steep, change to smaller angled needle IF mixture is rich at 25% - 50% throttle but lean at 50% - 75% throttle THEN needle taper is too small, change to steeper angled needle MAIN JET perform test run at 75% - 100% throttle check plugs change main jet until plugs show proper mixture
