I have a question regarding setting my air screw that I removed from my carbs...
I drilled out my air screw brass plug on all 4 carbs. I wanted to clean that circuit out, since i have the carbs apart. I marked the air screw position with a scribe mark, prior to removal. Then I removed the air screws and they all seemed to be set at about 1/2-5/8 out. KatWiki says:
"1990-1997
600
My question is, should I re install them to their original position (1/2 turn out) that I marked or should I adjust them to "Fuel Screws 1.5 Turns out from stop" ?
What is a fuel screw..is it an air screw? This has me a little confused. If and air screw and a fuel screw are synonymous, why is it turned out 3 times more than stock?
Please let me know. The clymer manual says it is "Pre-Set" and doesn't give you a number of turns out.
Thanks
