I have both of them but have not compare yet, as Zen7's guy told me, they are the same for the speed only thing different is the H and L's setting.

Can not say for a fact , but it seems to me that the 257's throttle faster. ( have no way to test )

start out at 2 to 2-1/4 on the low and 1 on high. You will probably just need to lean the high needle a tad. Keep a good tan color on the plug!
