low speed needle
 

i want to reset the low speed needle this is what the manual says

1 open the carberator barrel completely

2 while holding the barrel open with your finger turn the idle mixtureneedle clockwise until stops then turn out 5 turns this is the fractory setting

please help me

That is not your lsn. That sets your idle. Your lsn should be in the end of the part that you pulled to open the carb barrel. Keep looking in your manuel, there should be a part about the lsn setting. What engine are we talking about anyway?

i was thinking the same thing i will scan a page its xtm .18
you may have to zoom alittle to read it sorry

thats strange cause it definatly is talking about the needle that adjusts the mixture at idle, but why would you have to hold the carb all the way open? plus 5 turns out? that seems very rich to me...

5 turns is way to much. Mine wouldn't even start at that setting. 3 turns will get you very close.

Put the lsn flush...that will get you started

RE: low speed needle
 

so you mean screw down to it stops then then 3 turns back

RE: low speed needle
 

that should get you started 3 turns out sounds pretty good might make it 3 1/2 lol i think its precisly 3.26726394732 to the 10 power...lol
