I have read the shop manual but it is lacking in detail. how do you set the carb I.E. mixture. Is the screw mentioned in the manual turned in to lean and out to enrich or is it the opposite?

p.s. Does anybody have a preferred tune up method?
thanks in advance

Turning it in makes it leaner. With the engine warm & running slowly turn the screw in till the engine starts to slow down. Then back it out til it picks back up, usually about 1/2 turn.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
