hi, not really you shoild be able to adjust the mix with ya fingers. enderneath where the tube is( the bit where the needle slides in ) there is a nut or a round knurled adjuster. you turn this to adjust the mix. the needle is tapered which slides in /out the tube. say the hole in tube is 2mm. and the tip of needle is .5mm and the top of needle is 1.90mm, when the dashpot is in the idling (all way down) mode, there will be very little fuel coming out the tube. cause the tapered needle where it is at its thickest 1.90 mm, and the hole in tube 2.0 mm ,there is a clearance of .10 mm - little fuel---- so to richen the mix, the dashpot will stay in the same place, and then you adjust the tube so it starts to come down further along the needle. say the tube is half way down the needle, the thickness of the needle midway is 1.00 mm, and tube having a 2.00 mm hole , there will be a clearance of .90 mm , which will let more fuel in , bring the tube up, clearance decreases leaning mix.... mark k simple once you know how........ mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cleary Signs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 7:53 AM Subject: Re: no. 4 spark plug coroded > yerr i have NFI when it comes to SU's, > i couldn't help you with them, don't you need a weird screw driver for the > mixture screw, > > heath > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jeff Oldham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 6:26 AM > Subject: RE: no. 4 spark plug coroded > > > > Rick, > > > > that makes sense to me. > > A mate is going to help me tune the carbs & engine this weekend. > > so we will see if we can get it set-up a bit better than I had it. > > > > PS this will make you laugh > > I have had a slight weep at the cam cover. > > tried tightening the bolts & it turns out that 2 of them are roofing > screws > > :) > > its funny what people will do when their fixing things :) > > > > jeff > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of rclough > > Sent: Thursday, 15 July 2004 8:21 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: no. 4 spark plug coroded > > > > > > A lateral thought.
