[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 213279, member: 3278"] Rather than chance running the engine lean on fuel and oil, get a new kit and clean up the carb and install the new kit. That should solve your issue. Leaving an engine for a year, possibly with fuel in it, is not good with today's gasoline. And no, Seafoam will not clean it up without disassembly and proper cleaning. You can start your initial adjustment of the low speed needle at 1.5 turns and turn it in slowly until the engine speeds up and eventually lean spits then back it back out 1/4 turn and leave it. Thats a good ballpark adjustment. [/QUOTE]
