Default RE: How do you set your needle valve without a tach?

I use a tach. I use the pinch the fuel line technique for both the high end and low end adjustments. It should rise 300 or so rpm when you gently pinch the line and then it will die (let go before it quits). You now have a properly adjusted engine hopefully for the rest of the day. This technique only works on the air bleed type carbs. The two screws work in opposit directions to one another.
