RE: YS .61 Longstroke low needle?
Look on the bottom of the crankcase and you'll see a brass regulator screw just below the carb. This should initially be set so that the brass screw is even with the top of the housing it sits in. This screw applies pressure to a spring which adjusts the regulator which returns fuel to the tank. Adjust it in very tiny increments. Find the lowest rpm where the engine idles reliably (try for 30 seconds and then open it up - you don't want any hesitation). Then adjust the needle for proper mixture at high rpm. Then repeat. You will have to screw the brass screw in or out to get a lower idle without loading (2000 rpm or less - it will depend on the prop). Don't forget to readjust the high end after each regulator adjustment. And adjust the regulator screw in very tiny increments - 1/8 turn or less.
