Took my handy dandy 9/64" allen wrench and started adjusting. First thing I noticed was not much happened. Seems like I could turn any direction with very little difference until it started missing bad. Slowed down and listened carefully but very difficult to tell any real changes until it missed badly. Then I turned back about 1/2-1 turn. Did that to all carbs and it helped.

But it does not sound real good but seemed to start and idles fine on the muffs even when it got warm but I'm not sure we realy got to the same temp as when running and then shutting down and restarting.

So what is the tricks on adjusting the carbs to perfection. Thanks for all of your help so far.

By the way the manual came in and I picked it up today. Got 6 rebuild kits and plan on attacking rebuilds Wednesday.

Thanks again

Do the carbs and a sync & link. Then put it in the water for the final carb adjustment.
