Default RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp

Sounds like you are on the right trail. The instructions probably say to adjust the low end first then the high end. As you have found, the needles on these gassers are not very sensitive and it sometimes takes a half rurn for anything to happen. One other thing to do is that before you do any "real" adjusting you should run the engine at least a coule or three minutes to get it warmed up. Then turn it off and lean it out. I found on my BME that it too was hard to start - it has more to do with the ignition and timing than it does with the carb. Oh, one more thingy to check is the spark plug gap. If it is too wide - that's bad. If it's too narrow - that's bad.


Hang in there and call or email me if you need help on anything.
