Hi Mike,
the instructions say to start at 1.5 turns out on both high and low.

Go with 1 3/8 on low, 1 3/4 on high for starting a new one.

Good luck

Factory settings are just an educated guess...They ASSume the customer will know how to set the carb, so they go a little rich to keep the engine from sticking if said customer doesn't adjust the needles to suit the prop size and altitude...If you start 2 turns open and set the high for max rpm, then set the low, your engine will be closer to being right than if you just go to 1 1/2 on both and leave it there...
ASSuming again....
