timbo Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hi Phil I have this at home somewhere but from recollection you screw both screws fully in, then out 1.5 turns, then screw in slowly until the idle speed just starts to drop, then back a tad. Set the second screw to same position and you're done. There have been threads on this in the past if you do a search. Not sure this will solve your problem though - have you checked/ cleaned the fuel filter? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Try a new set of spark plugs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agripper Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Cheers guys, managed to get it sorted now. It was a bugger of a job to get the engine deck off by myself. I did try and search carb setting on the forum but could not find what I wanted to very grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Phil Done that a few times! Have now perfected the art of doing it by myself using engine crane. If you attach it to the gun crutch it is pretty well balanced just lift a few inches then roll forwards, drop down and stand it against the front of the vehicle. With practice it can actually be done very quickly. The other option I have seen discussed but never tried is to use the gun itself - just attach, elevate and traverse. Would imagine you need 2 people for that though and then it is probably just as easy to lift off by hand. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
