Default RE: PROBLEM WITH 17CC GASSER

Is this a conversion engine? Will it start and run at all with both needles open 1 to 1-1/2 turns? If so, carefully lean the low end needle first, while adjusting your idle lower, and lower with the TX or linkage on a stand. You will reach a point where you can no longer increase the idle rpm with low needle adjustment. See if you can reach a decent idle at all, then open it back up just enough to get you a smooth transition...and adjust the high end needle from there. Small tweaks at either end should get you settled in, with some time on it. Somewhere along that road, there will be clues as to what the engine needs, that it isn't getting.
