Default Can someone help with an engine tuning problem please?

Ryan, from your comments in the first post, you have the high speed needle, because you said you adjusted it, even though it is missing from the photos. On an air bleed carb, the low speed needle is initially set to cover one half of the hole in the front of the carb - look directly into the front of the carb and you will see the small hole for the air bleed - adjust the needle until it covers half of it. From this point, you would open up the hole (screw the needle out) to lean out the idle mixture, or close off more of the hole with the needle to get a richer mixture.

See this thread for a complete explanation of how to adjust your air bleed type carb:
