blue devil quad Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 why do they tell u to turn the air screw out 1.5 or 2.0 and you must turn them evenly but my mechanic always have them uneven and he wont tell me Quote
shee4speed Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Just turn them all the way in and then count the turns out.The slot may not line up the same but they should be turned out the same. Quote

dajogejr Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 You're kidding, right? Turn the air screw in until it is lightly seated, do NOT crank on it. Notice the position...turn it out ...when the screw driver blade makes a 180 degree turn, that's 1/2 a turn, or .5. 360 degree rotation is 1 full turn... You could a marker if needed, but remembering the slot of the screw at the seated position should work fine...if you have that short of a memory...I feel for ya.... The power jets on my old carbs (externally adjustable main jet) had no markings whatsoever, so I painted a small white stripe on them with white out so I could count the turns...same theory. I used White out stripe, you would use the channel in the screw for the blade of the screwdriver.... Quote
