RE: Will Brison survive?
Bubba,
Any of the settings noted in either manual are only beginning reference points to get the engine started. I, too, have manuals printed at different times and have noted the differences. For all of my engines I've found that anywhere from 1-3/4 on both to 2-1/4 on both work just fine to get the engine started. From there, final tuning takes place to suit your altitude and enviornment. Expect minor adjustments to be necessary as the engine breaks in, then very few adjustments thereafter.
