Initial Carb Settings-
High Speed Needle- 2¾ turns open (from fully closed).
Low Speed (Idle) Needle- Pinch test: engine at idle, pinch the
fuel line and listen to how the engine speeds up or slows down.
If the engine increases its speed for about 2 to 3 seconds and
then loses speed, the needle is set correctly. If the engine
loses RPM quickly, it is set too lean and the low-speed needle
needs to be opened (counterclockwise) to richen the mixture.
(Idle) Stop Screw- barrel should be open 1/32" to 1/16"
(1.5mm) from fully closed.
For an O.S. Max sport engine option, the .18CV-RX (OSMG2104) can be
used with the stock exhaust system.
