Default RE: tuning my engine

Open the valve about 1.5 turns. Start the engine and set the idle speed you want. Pinch the fuel line and wait. If the engine keeps running for a LONG time, the low end is too rich. If it dies almost immediately, it's too lean. CAUTION: This will not work for a Super Tigre. If you have an ST, write again and I'll give you the procedure for that.
