[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 471112, member: 3278"] [size=5]If the low speed needle is backed out (counter clockwise) It will richen the engine. The engine will not sneeze if it is being richened. Recommended starting point for a low speed needle is 1.5 turns from a lightly closed position anyway. Richen your mixture and tell us what the engine does. You should have enough flexibility to almost flood the engine with fuel at idle with the needle or shut it off if turned in. The answer is a No on the float theory. Reeds, if damaged or open will not allow an engine to idle. Your engine was running when you bought it. Was it sneezing then? [/size] [/QUOTE]
